I induced latencies similar to those found on the Internet. My tests at LAN
speeds (500us in my sub-optimal setup) had 9P at essentially the same
transfer rate as HTTP. My work was motivated by the observation that
transferring files to and from sources is just deathly slow, and that while
fcp does a good job helping that, it is just a patch covering a deeper
issue.
