Sharing personal experience:

As a Norway-based user, I do worry about anything that adds extra round trips to my queries to US-based websites. The user experience seen from California is really quite different from the user experience here in Norway - about 200 ms * number of round trips different, in fact. Extra RTTs add up REAL fast here.

Is it true that we no longer need to worry about regularly adding extra
round-trips to popular protocols that operate over the open Internet?

It was certainly a significant issue that was much-discussed in the
working group when we were working on the new NNTP standards.  People
maintaining major commercial NNTP services said that excessive round trips
were a performance concern for them.
