Why not? Sounds ok, setting up, using, and closing down a tcp line
should take at least 3 roundtrips, I think, so you'd need at least 300,
and if the data transfer takes a bit of time, bit of tcp stack overhead,
bit of software doing stuff... sounds like 700 ms.

running tcpdump might tell you exactly whats going on, with pretty
accurate timestamps.
