The schema contains "originCountry" that should enable us to filter in this way.  

I have two points:

Browser bias: I was under the impression that Nav timing was only available for modern browsers, so that might affect a bit of a bias into the situation.  

Browser cache: Browser cache is going to reduce any gains we might see due to reduced latency or increased bandwidth.  It would be nice if we could compare the speed changes of cached/non-cached page/asset loading.  I don't think that the current schema will allow us to do this.   Despite this, we should still be able to get a good sense for how cached/non-cached page loads were affected in general.

+10^9. I was rather excited to see ulsfo back up and I tried to quickly figure some correlation out of https://gdash.wikimedia.org/dashboards/frontend/ , but I failed.
I think what's needed here is mostly some brilliant idea on how to visualise / graph the data available there by region (and maybe also by project / kind of editor e.g. unregistered vs. registered vs. sysop) without making thousands graphs for each of the combinations. Or just one graph for the region moved to ulsfo to start with of course. :)

Does the NavigationTiming data have the hostname of the varnish that served the request, and do we have data on which hostname served which geographic area at a particular time?

If so, we can generate a before and after average performance map by region served, to see if there are any differences.
