So 300ms for a complete HTTP fetch is pretty low then... A typical HTTP
request takes at least 2-3 RTT latency.

1 RTT for SYN,SYN+ACK
Then at least one more RTT to send the request, plus the time it takes
to deliver the response.

I would suggest using something like
high_response_time_warning 6000

persistent connections cuts a bit of this, but not all, and there is
also many high-profile web sites not supporting persistent connections.
