For SUBMIT, the traffic is presumably from your own users, who are rarely very far away,
Making a distance-sensitive assumption about traffic behavior is a suprisingly bad idea for anything having to do with the Internet. Resources and their uses can be -- and often are -- a long way away and using connections with wildly varied performance characteristics.
I use a number of different email service and have no idea where any of their servers are, but suspect some are across a large ocean from me.
The only time distance-sensitive assumptions might make sense is when the interaction is known to be -- and must be --- part of a LAN that both parties are on. Maybe.
