You'd be surprised just how much latency online games can cope with.  The
"net code" in many of them is very good at not only dealing with latency,
but also dropped/out of order packets.

I play a game where I regularly have ping times of 200ms or higher -
compared to people who have sub 50ms pings - and I don't think I actually
suffer THAT much for it (instead, my poor record is due to the fact that I
just suck).
