I suspect that geographical location is less important than network location - as somebody pointed out if the delay is symmetrical the distance doesn't matter that much. It would be interesting to build a system that just looked looked at routing, specifically AS number to determine how many different networks a packet has to cross and picked the lowest (on the theory that it's crossing from one net to another that introduces asymmetric latencies).
