As I wrote earlier, I'm more worried about configs based on experience,
not logic. Dan's tests show there could be a difference, and I'm not
sure users cared about the logic, since it wasn't questioned until now.
Btw, there could be considered adding a new, alternative parameter, for
this, like rlatency etc. if it's so crucial. And, of course, it's only
my little "IMHO", I don't insist on anything.

Thanks,
