Create a new loopback interface for testing? No reason you should be using your actual loopback for testing bad networking. Especially since the loopback interface is used for far more things than the one application you are testing these days. Setting up a new interface is pretty easy on most unix OS's and then you can increase the latency on just that interface without impacting the interface most software on your machine is built to expect to be blazing fast. And you can mess with that interface to your hearts content knowing the only thing affecting it is the applications you are running on it.
