It's hard to say, because you can't do a good job of reducing delay 
until you know exactly where it's occurring.  There are many 
different potential sources of delay in a network-based application: 
capture, transmission, propogation delay, reception, 
rendering.  I.e., delay can occur at both ends, and in many 
places.  The "LIVE555 Streaming Media" code - even if it's used at 
both the sending and receiving ends - is only a small part of the 
overall system.

Before you can figure out how to reduce delay, you're going to have 
to figure out exactly where it is occurring.  I.e., you're going to 
have to dive in and instrument all parts of your system to figure this out.
