Time lag for interactive processes over transatlantic link

We have an AS/400 on the East Coast and a plant with users in Holland.  
The response time 
doesn't appear to be any worse than the users we have in Tacoma Wa.   Both
response times
are good.

hi,
I'm interested in companies that have a centralised server(s) on one size
of
the atlantic, but who have users accessing it from the other (via leased
line and/or web based).  
My company is considering a US based server farm, that handles the global
business.
Given the inherant lags over a transatlantic link, what sort of interactive
response time do users experience?  It it viable do do this without a
replica server at either end?
Is the performance of local users affected by the remote ones?

Thanks
Stuart
