Even so, latency dosen't help you get more cells onto the screen. Even if you don't miss any, you can still lose.

You need the latency so that your viruses expand immediately and it takes less time to clear the RBCs, especially when the clock in getting close to the end. I always lose with just 2-4 RBCs left to infect, where one more level of latency would have let me get those infections a few seconds earlier. For this situation, reproduction is only helpful to a point, since there can end up being way more viruses on the screen than you can possibly use.

Yeah, but more viruses, with more damage ability, all clumped together and ignored by you, can kill the white blood cells sooner, before they become a problem. If they also survive the antibiotic cloud, and you get the biohazard powerup, you can get more of those invisible rbc's. Those guys with the high score (and all the high scores are by the same few guys) have probably latched onto some pretty good formula. And of course, luck figures into it as well.

The biohazard is entirely luck dependent as well, which is what I was getting at.

Cool high-tech thingy: http://labs.systemone.at/retrievr/
Finds pictures that look like what your draw. Fairly accurate - Or it could simply be my bad art skills.

I tried this site. Fun! Most of the pictures it returns are nothing like what I drew, but occasionally it's very good. Here's two examples where it worked quite well.
