Sure, I manage servers in the US, Japan and Australia so I'm well acquainted with how latency sucks. I was questioning the idea that there was a possibility of "an extra 100-1000 millisecond trip each way" - Taken literally, this would mean up to a 2000ms RTT (1000 ms each way). I get ~230ms RTT between Sydney and NYC, and 320 from Sydney to Hamburg going around the wrong way. for reference, 2000 ms is 74% of the RTT to the moon.
