I only care about the servers. However, the clients are most likely constrained by CPU or network. Slowing down all the requests at the server means that the client has more CPU and network available that can be used to issue other requests to other servers. In other words, how fast you respond to the client is largely irrelevant to how many URLs the client can check per hour - the slower you respond, the more requests the client can perform simultaneously.
