The only application where I have seen profitability in decreasing latency is 
the financial trading industry (see definition of profit).  One other 
consideration is the end equipment.  If a standard linux/windows kernel is used 
then the push for decreased latency is wasted.  You need real time equipment 
(RT linux or something similar) on the ends to see significant benefit from the 
decreased latency.

Renting can be troublesome too.  Ok, you'll get the kit, but not 
necessarily the expertise to be able to test what you need to test in a way 
that's meaningful or relevant to your set of requirements.
