Maybe? Could also be that latency is visible in the map without major impact on throughput. That is, you have to argue to unrealistic extremes of building taking a day to get the imagination for an empty map. Latency is a fact of all delivery. How much is the question. Combined with realistic build times, it may be this is the optimal map? Realistically, extra latency will have some advantages in many cases.
