Given the new ability to be interactive with a range of 'users', there 
was experimentation about usability issues.  Lower latency has obvious 
benefit.  But one experiment demonstrated it was not an absolute.

Given an experience with significantly /variable/ latency, where the 
average was lower latency, versus an experience with very stable 
latency, but at a higher average, users preferred the latter.
