  "textContent": "Traditionally, protocol performance is summarized using two metrics: latency (measured in rounds), and communication complexity (measured asymptotically, e.g., $O(n^2)$). If both are small, we might expect the protocol to perform well in practice. But this intuition is incomplete. When Low Latency and Low Communication Aren’t Enough Consider two protocols: Protocol...",
