I thought ping was measured round trip to the central server, and not to the other user?

If you're able to go p2p though then it doesn't matter.

Ping is round trip to central server. I clarified to say the time to the other user is not two round trips away if you go through the central server, only one.

P.S. Sorry for all the ninja edits. I was thinking you'd not see the comment so quickly.
