Smart thinking.  Here is my counter:  Tonight, I will set up two laptops.  One 
VPN'd and the other not VPN'd.  I'll sniff the traffic and see if it's coming 
from the same IP address.  If it's not coming from the same IP, I'll retry, 
retry, retry, until I can get two video streams both coming from the same IP, 
with the only difference being the existence or non-existence of the encryption 
relay (VPN network).

If all other things are equal, the VPN network should be equal or worse than 
the regular network, because the VPN is forcing an extra hop and adding 
overhead both in terms of latency and payload.
