I have not got alot of network programming knowledge but enough to program basic TCP clients/servers on windows and TCP clients on android. I am interesting in modifying an RC car to use an arduino with a wifi shield for control. Basic idea and alot of people have done it. I was wondering about the responsiveness and speed of a wifi shield with an arduino, when i send data using a program written on my android or pc, will the data be received virtually instantly, like i can accomplish between pc and pc or pc and android.
I'm sorry if there is a topic on this already, i have searched the forums and googgle but with little luck.

Received by the WiFi shield, yes. Transferred to the Arduino? Not quite so fast, but fast enough, if you are not sending novels.

So if i'm sending say a few bytes ( < 8 ) 3 or 4 times a second, will the arduino be able to process them fast enough to make the control appear instantaneous?
