Thanks.  I think now the person that told me that was mistaken and just thinking about latency on your local network.  Yeah, on my WAN, its just 0.580ms to another device.  I just checked my internet speed using my MacBook Pro connected directly into my router by ethernet and its ~950Mbps at 23ms.  It'll vary anyway depending on location, time of day, etc.  Its all good!  :-)
