The network itself is pretty fast, it has to be -> if it
were slow all the data/traffic had to sit/wait in large
fifo buffers. That would not make sense.

If you notice a delay, it is often the server not responding
fast enough, or just too much traffic at certain nodes and
data being thrown away. The upper layers of the protocols
will retry, but then things slow down immensely.

Yet I'm always surprised when a simple ping gives a nice list
of respond times of tens of milliseconds, and even more
surprised when Google spits a full screen almost *before* I
have even touched the enter key... as if they knew what I
was going to ask ;)
