I agree! but I don't want to rush. What latency should substitute? average?
median? latency during upload? download? both? should it be the excess over
idle ping, expressed as a multiplier? an absolute value?

Most people as in 98% of people who use this test do so without any
reference to instructions the forums or anything else and all of them
"expect" to see latency
pings that are similar to speedtest.net measure of how close the speed test
server is.

And I haven't even sorted out the latency bugs. I just now asked the nginx
development list why IE11 has problems doing http pings because it does
a weird two-step of high-normal-high-normal, but when talking to nginx only!
it behaves ok when talking to google.com.

There is a jsfiddle you can play with to see the problem (I hope!)
   http://jsfiddle.net/qe44nbwh/
change nginx.org to google.com, using IE11. (other browsers work fine)
