$ ping 127.0.0.1
It's the localhost, so shouldn't it approach to 0 ms?

Since it doesn't leave your network externally, yes, it should be close to 0ms. Your response time of 0.03 ms is within normal range of what it should be.

it's a loopback network address, computer send date to this address and get it back, it'll take some time to respond,
any IPv4 address in 127.0.0.1 and 127.0.0.255 is loopback network address.
