as said before, best-case-latency is like the surgeons telling you
before they anaesthesize you that there are actually rumours of
people surviving this operation.
if you miss a deadline, you are utterly hosed, so you can't do any
useful work at "best best case" latency.
as you said before, open source is not about cheating. its strength
is its modesty. "here it is, we've done the best we can, take it or
leave it or better yet, send fixes."
