title: Does user network speed have an impact on web server performance?
body: <p>The Slow Loris attack overwhelms an unpatched web server by simply extending the time it takes to finish making a request, then repeating that action - thus tying up all available resources to respond.</p>
  
  <p>It follows then, that many users from geographic locations with bad internet connectivity, should be similarly detrimental to performance.</p>
  
  <p>Is this really the case? What is the phenomenon called? What is a good way to simulate this with a load testing tool?</p>
