The machine is still fun.

It's the five layers of product growth between you and the machine that get tiring.

check the ping time between your nodes, whatever they are, in the same datacenter. I bet it will be at least 10-20ms. 15 years ago it was 0.1-0.2 ms.

still 150 micros here. why would this go up?

Software defined networking adding latency. 10ms within a datacenter is crazy though.

Those NSA MITM attacks aren't free or fast

Given that I get ~1 ms between basement and upstairs, going through three switches, this is indeed a sad state of affairs.
