A switch with just 49 ns latency? What strange magic is this?

Re: The future...

In the context of HFT, the idea is to get the order to the exchange fastest.

If you shave 300-49 ns off the time (~250ns), super.

However, if you move your box just ~250 feet closer to the exchange, that will cancel the performance gain.
