This PR adds a documentation page about latency, showing how it can affect performance.

Various benchmarks done for performance issues show that a "better" deployment, if possible, will help, and that there are probably non-achievable thresholds of performance in some configurations: resources like CPU and RAM aren't the only factors at play.

It includes tests, done to show how latency impacts performance, either artificially or with real-life deployments.

**Simulated** throughput vs
latency on a virtual link, practical throughput is even lower.

Even if this is just an illustration, do put details on what this represents exactly? I.e. queries on DSS, no. of nodes, etc.

The 'raw' throughput in Mbps, in term of data size (it's on the axis label), I'm not sure what details to add in the caption, what did you had in mind?
