There is a certain amount of latency added if you are doing cross or inter continential connecting. It is usually about 30 to 40 ms. (which is pretty much unoticable for most people anyways).

Bill Clinton

If you're from Europe, as Bill Clinton said you'll get an additional 40ms to the he.net datacentre. However, he.net seems to have excellent connectivity in some areas - do a traceroute to it from as many locations as possible to see how low the number of hops gets. Remember that they can be just as important as a small 40ms ping increase sometimes as few hops tends to result in better network stability.
