I think we all know who's really to blame.
S9 routes the internet, confirmed.
A WinMTR reveals my internet being a little fuzzy bunny and routing me out to LA area, then to Ann Arbor in Michigan, then to New York, then back to NJ. Ashfire blames my university internet but who knows.
It routed you to LA then Palo Alto, then basically a straight shot (via chicago) directly to the server. The return trip has stellar latency, actually. It's the fact that it's going to the west coast is the problem, and it takes an education-only network to get there, hence why I think something is at fault at your school (or nearby/related networks).

[kloeri] And we're done for now with all the rebooting.. except for a single server that will be rebooted when it's done pretending it's a tree.
