heh interesting.  i wonder how long it takes for this work.  when i 
helped run one of the largest independent RTB exchanges our SLA from 
time to impression, auction and returning a shitty banner ad was ~150ms 
total - i guess it could be cached client side in some sort of 
user-storage bucked in the browser but that would seem to defeat the 
intent of this.

i think the only safe way to win this game is to not play :)
