Your test used a mixture of Taiwan, Japan and Dallas Texas which were the
three best locations.
Ideally the test should concentrate less on Dallas/Taiwan, and more on
Japan, instead of picking randomly among them.

I'll be adjusting the strategy to be more optimal. Then it is just a matter
of adding servers.

Despite the non optimal choice, as I mentioned, it did test a near gigabit
connection at Sony so the servers are not really lacking, just minimising
the total of the latency especially for Windows clients.
