fms 4.5 to ipad live video streaming delay issue

Im using fms 4.5 server for streaming live video to ipad using HTTP Live Streaming. There seems to be delay of almost 10 seconds in video streaming to ipad. I changed the segmentduration in event.xml to 8000, but there is no change in the delay. Is it possible to minimize the delay to 2 or 3 seconds?

Thanks in advance

    Apple's Http Live Streaming spoecifications mention that for live streaming, client will start playing from the 3rd last segment in the playlist. So the expected latency should be around 3 times the media file duration. Keeping the media file duration too low has its own implications like too many media sgement requests to server, thereby clogging the network.
