You are sitting in the moon with a lamp sending signals to the earth and no 
matter what you do it takes more than 1 second for the light of your lamp to 
arrive to the earth. There is a mirror in the earth reflecting the light back 
to you, the round-trip will be more than 2 seconds and there's no way to fix 
that.

What I meant with round-trip latency is: once the connection has been 
established, a network packet takes almost 250 ms to go from the ethernet port 
of my computer the the ethernet port of a server in Brazil, and another 250 ms 
for the response packet to come back.

The only work around for that is making as few requests as possible.
