This image is not entirely accurate and there are more steps around the servers and sockets involved but it conveys the general idea of what is happening and why I am not an artist.

Steps 4 and 5 roughly double the time required to process information. Depending on your connection quality and locale the delay can be almost non-existent, or quite severe.

We are currently working on ways to lower this but it involves pretty big changes behind the scenes to do so. When we have more information on it we will update you.
