How to: How does Lighthouse use network throttling, and how can I make it better?
Good question. Network and CPU throttling are applied by default in a Lighthouse run. The network
attempts to emulate slow 4G connectivity and the CPU is slowed down 4x from your machine's default speed. If you
prefer to run Lighthouse without throttling, you'll have to use the CLI and disable it with the
`--throttling.*` flags mentioned above.
