Sometimes people believe that latency and throughput are orthogonal concepts when in fact, they share an interesting relationship. We can think of latency and throughput as being inversely correlated, as we drive the throughput of a system to its limit latency begins to deteriorate. Here is a fun blog post that explains more of the details of the dynamic between latency and throughput:
