Measureable yes, but 3 100ths of a second? Compared to delays on congested
part of the net, this is nothing. Ping times are one thing, real time
human perception is quite another, IMHO.
Number freaks.
FWIW, when I change something here that looks good to me by the numbers I
ask for the "how does it work for you" opinion.
Take away their ping, blind fold them, and let their taste decide. ;-)
