For comparison, I uploaded the exact same image to Google Firebase Storage (link: [https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/deckdeckgo-studio-prod.appspot.com/o/TLsaIXLLIwdmA2PSV1DcEHGMva23%2Fassets%2Fimages%2F2-3mb.jpeg?alt=media&token=0b071105-7bc7-4b83-add9-8f5991049c9c](https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/deckdeckgo-studio-prod.appspot.com/o/TLsaIXLLIwdmA2PSV1DcEHGMva23%2Fassets%2Fimages%2F2-3mb.jpeg?alt=media&token=0b071105-7bc7-4b83-add9-8f5991049c9c)).

In such conventional CDN it takes around 800ms - 1s to download the file.

I get 2.5s to 6s for my implementation with the IC and `http_request + streaming`.

So, I actually see it as positive kind of, sure it’s slower but it’s quite different tech. Being said, maybe it is possible to improve the speed of the delivery?
