Sharing personal experience:

As a Norway-based user, I do worry about anything that adds extra round 
trips to my queries to US-based websites. The user experience seen from 
California is really quite different from the user experience here in 
Norway - about 200 ms * number of round trips different, in fact. Extra 
RTTs add up REAL fast here.
