If you have a project that you want to see done, you will be more likely to succeed using some more traditional architecture.

What I described is chasing latency at all costs. The costs are hardware costs, maintainability costs, development costs, inefficiency (yes, a lot more CPU is used than what is needed just to run the critical path fast). This is very extreme situation and it would be very unlikely to be a good tradeoff for your application.

If you have a lot of clients connecting there are different tradeoffs to think about and different possible architectures to evaluate, but I can't help you not knowing what your problem is.
