I have done that already and there is no ICMP other then me pinging the radios It doesn't happen when there is no one online it only happens when a few close users get on and start to surf and then the far users have a hard time with dropped packets and slow speeds and high pings. I just thing I need to open up another AP closer to them and keep my distance down to under 5 miles. The one person having the hardest time is about 5.6 miles which is closer then my 7.2 mile customer who is doing great and pointed at the same radio APPO. It might just be this person is in a bad area with more interference is what I am thinking and I also may need to raise her ant a smidge..

From what I've seen, it usually causes lost packets, but not high latency. I don't know if anyone has mentioned this before (I jumped in in the middle of this thread), but what you're describing sounds exactly like something I experienced a few weeks ago. I had about six users with the Welchia virus, and they were causing high latency all over the network. If you haven't done it already, put a packet sniffer on the network, and see if you're seeing a lot of icmp echo traffic.
