I've always been a little less harsh than What Jared mentions, but my theory is like within say 5-7 ms is probably reasonable as long as the endpoint is closer than the next major IX both are present on.   I don't really know what folks think they are getting by peering across the world.     I think this might be one of those vanity peering type situations instead of any real technical justification.   I have a hard time understanding how it would not often make routing worse.
