Description

Wondering if there is any prior research on latency here?

Considering moving the www.videomail.io server to another country which will increase latency for 90% of all my clients. Because www.videomail.io relies heavily on your websocket-stream code, I'd be better careful here. How badly will more latency impact on websocket-stream's performance? Or can this be ignored since it affects initial page load only?
