Possibly.

Are all of your machines in this testbed connected to the same switch?
Does the director have two separate NICs with the ranges on, or one?

In an idealised environment where the three machines are connected
together as simply as possible it's quite likely that you'll "stack"
small latency figures which quickly add up to what might look like a
significant delay. However, it might not be that significant - if all of
your machines are connected via 100 megabit or gigabit ethernet, that's
unlikely to reflect the situation with the actual clients who will be at
the far end of a long piece of wet string.

Obviously there is an overhead with connecting via the director,
especially if it's only got a single NIC - but you might need to explain
your testbed a little more clearly first.
