I wasn't denying that. I'm sure it does. I am confident this is way better than most (if not all) current cloud solutions.

I just think it is unfortunate because there is no technical limitation of the cloud that prevents it from being instant on the cloud as well.

The cloud can't handle spikes well (1,000 customers all unexpectedly try to scan at once) but if the load is predictable, linear, or easily done in parallel which I suspect it is for this use case than it is perfectly doable with no delay on the cloud.
