We seem to be confusing latency and server performance here. The original post was about latency, i.e. the time taken for a packet of data to make a round trip from your computer to Blizzard's server and back. This is unaffected by how busy the server is and is measured by ping and the green/amber/red latency indicator.
Most of the symptoms grumbled about here - unresponsive mailboxes etc. - are because the server is busy, not because latency is high.
