I will need more information about that
What kind of latency are you talking about? Players sending each other translation request? Does sending it as an alert really improves the latency? Then why not use it everywhere?

Yes, there are 3 FIFO queues, and TRP only uses one of them.

TBF I think we should replace the current throttler with a real-time implementation, but maybe this is a good first step.

If there's a 14 KB state in the normal queue, the translation request or reply will be placed behind that and be transmitted after the state and be handled after 14000/800=17.5 seconds, bypassing that queue should get the translation delivered about 17 seconds earlier.

Fair enough. I will look into it
