No, not the DHT is slowed down deliberately, but the routing protocol.
Regarding the RTP stream, it's transported via UDP[0] (as usual).
Don't forget the DHT-network is just the layer to help establish
P2P-connections for everything else.
So the latencies you fear are very unlikely, given the DHT-layer is
very small[1] and easy to handle for the nodes.
