Why ? A lot of factors, some of which can not be controlled by you (e.g.
load on the other server).

Unless you have a very strange set of requirements then don't worry
about values less than 10. Also don't worry about occasional serious delays
to/from any given site.

If certain sites regularly have values that are greater than about 100
then I'd consider investigating.  If a lot of sites have values
regularly greater than about 50 suspect a problem at your end (note it
could easily be the bandwidth on your outgoing connection rather than a
setting on your server).

When you've got a better idea come back with your findings.

See above.
