Definitely a bit weird. Where are you located? The echo demo server is hosted in the Netherlands. That's how the round trip histogram looks for me in Estonia: https://i.imgur.com/iBoqwe4.png I'll take a look later if there's any noticeable delays caused by the server.

Chrome use ~100% cpu transceiving ~83 packets per second, and I think it sends packets at a slower rate later on, that's why we get so many 30ms responses when we wait some hours.

This is a tcpdump after loading the page:

  \time sudo tcpdump -c 1000 -ni eth0 udp and port 9777
  1000 packets captured
  1000 packets received by filter
  0 packets dropped by kernel

  0inputs+8outputs (0major+1508minor)pagefaults 0swaps

This is just a flood ping, interesting that the UDP version shoots more packets.

  \time sudo ping -f -c 1000 188.166.46.128
  PING 188.166.46.128 (188.166.46.128) 56(84) bytes of data.
