I say talk to your DB Admin | Hit the Db once and not many times
(connection), there's your problem at least one.
Latency starts at the Application Layer then on down the Hardware then
the Network. You can throw a lot of money away also on it. There are
kernel options for networking latency (see the kernel pages docs).
Although you want improve it hardly any with the mainline kernel. The
WIRE is the Killer and App priority.
To start with you are going over a link you have NO control of so your
really stuck unless you have DEEP Pockets.
Any way one of the best tools to use is Netperf [1]. You can build your
own rpm from the gz package.
What's the latency now???
