This depends on how big the data piece is relative to the
starting handshake. Consider that TCP start-up involves
so-called 3-way handshake, and that many protocols have
a setup phase when client and server exchange messages
strictly in simplex, before bulk data transmission can commence.


Regardless, that still only affects the initial delay in response.


The number of DNS queries to render any particular page can drive this time
up quite high. Have a couple packets lost in between? ouch.

$1000 a year is a bit steep for the class of service.
