What Hacker News says?
If you're on a Mac, try the Network Link Conditioner from the Hardware IO tools downloads in Apple Dev portal. http://www.neglectedpotential.com/2012/05/slow-your-apps-rol... PS. The sleep trick is helpful, but in addition to latency, you ideally want to experience packet loss and other weirdness.
