Request latency due to distance and intermediate hops. The shorter the distance and fewer hops the faster those little images, stylesheets, and various other embedded media will load. This won't be very noticeable on the first page load due to the download times, but other requests that check timestamps against cache will appear more sluggish than necessary.
