Reducing double spend latency from 40 ms to < 1 ms on privacy proxy

What this post added

This post details the optimization of authentication latency for Cloudflare's privacy proxy product. It identifies and resolves a significant performance bottleneck related to TCP Nagle's algorithm and delayed ACKs, reducing double-spend check latency from approximately 40ms to under 1ms. This directly improves the performance and privacy of services like Apple's Private Relay and Microsoft's Edge Secure Network by ensuring faster token validation.
