I have a droplet in AMS3 and an Ethereum node in that same datacenter.
However, most of the calls take around 80-100ms to complete. The fastest test was 48ms. But looking at te ping tests, AMS3 should be having an average of 22ms. Especially when both machines are at the exact same location I would expect it to be at least this fast.
Is there anything I can do to optimize this?

Latency can be affected by various factors such as network routing, hardware performance, or application-level issues. It is almost never a easy investigation and it will require some additional time to analyse all factors that can cause the latency.
To optimize the performance between your droplet and the node, you can consider the following steps:
- Verify network configurations: Ensure that both your droplet and the node have proper network settings. This should be c
- Review application performance: Check the performance of your applications and their resource consumption, and optimize them to use resources more efficiently.
- Monitor server hardware: Keep an eye on resource usage (RAM, CPU, Disk I/O, etc.) and upgrade hardware resources as necessary.
- Consider using Private Networking: If not already, enable Private Networking for your droplet and the node to improve network connectivity and reduce latency.
- Analyze trace routes: Analyze trace routes between your droplet and the node to identify any routing or latency issues.
Hope that this helps!
