Part of Quantcast's commitment to our customers is a program of continual development in our core technology infrastructure – lower latency and better availability makes for a happier consumer experience. The latest independent tests of our service show performance levels that clearly lead the industry.
Recently, our global network of data centers passed an important milestone – recording over 100k media consumption events per second at peak load. While our volume has increased massively, we've also been able to improve the performance and we're pleased to provide the latest pixel performance results from Gomez, a leading independent provider of web experience management solutions.
February 2009 performance results from Gomez show Quantcast delivering a US mean pixel response time of just 40.04ms. That's 1.86x faster than Google, 4.60x faster than Omniture, 4.88x faster than comScore and whopping 8.37x faster than Nielsen.

Congratulations. Can you explain to the layman what the meaning of this is to us who use you to quantify our web traffic?

Steve: I think what they mean is that on websites with their clear pixel, the quantcast visitor-measurement pixel is slowing down visitors to quantcast-analyzed websites that much less, as compared to the other web-analyzers.
So pages load faster for people who visit quantcast enabled sites than for those who visit other sites, if everything else is held constant.
Should keep publishers (ie, you) happier. Increases your site users' satisfaction and keeps them from bouncing elsewhere for slow load time reasons. That said, 40 vs 80 milli-seconds is likely hard to notice for most people.
I'd like to know the -median- response time.
