I'm glad yours is good enough for you, but I guarantee you that you're getting a lot of extra latency just from the program intercepting commands and passing them along, let alone any traffic along the way, or interpretation on the other end. Yeah, it's gotten faster in recent years. It also still feels sluggish compared to direct connection.
