There is never going to be a simple answer, as the latency will
ultimately depend on many factors (overlay topology, network size, DHT,
network load).  Also, as to the current implementation, there is likely
a _ton_ of optimizations we can and should do to get the latency down.

So yes, you could measure (and we did, in the CADET paper), but the
results will likely differ once the code changes (hopefully for better,
but without good performance regression tests possibly for worse)
