The next question then becomes, at what level can we perceive a 
difference in performance? In other words, can we really perceive a 
difference between 7ms and 14ms latency? I will not argue that large 
differences are readily perceptible (25 versus 250), but what about 
smaller differences. How large of a difference does there need to be and 
is there a threshold below which it does not really matter?
