I have one hosting account that seems fast, but occasionally throws slow connections.

I’m seeing spikes with response times exceeding 2000 milliseconds.

Comparatively, I’m testing a different hosts where spikes rarely exceed 200 milliseconds, and rarely that.

All other things being equal—both are high-end shared hosts—how big of a concern should spikes such as that be. I do notice poor site performance at times.
