The latancy really isn't going to create any problems. Latancy is only the amount of time that it takes information to go from one location, to another location. It doesn't actually have much of an effect on how quickly a web page will load (at least, not that you will see). The biggest effect on the speed of the website is based on 3 things. Bandwidth (both yours and the servers as well as any bottlenecks in between), Server quality (a server is just like any other computer. It can only process information so fast. The better the computer, the faster it can push out the information) and traffic (wich will affect how much the server has to handle, and how much information is going through the "pipes"). Latancy has a small effect on how quickly your website loads, but its so minimal that you don't even need to worry about it in most cases. Now if your having to deal with very high latancy (500+), then you'll notice a difference. But the difference your going to see between 57 and 195 isn't enough to even consider a new host IMO.

Well... I have my flash website hosted outside my country... the ping
average time is 195ms. Another site like mine hosted locally (on my city)
takes an average 57ms to ping. Does the 138ms of difference really makes
difference? Does this justifies changing the host? Do you think I should
search for a "local host" instead of hosting it outside like I´m doing now?

Please, share your experiences!
