Port forwarding won't help your ping/latency at all. Port forwarding does a static map between specific ports so the public can access your workstation private IP when using NAT. That's why it's always associated with "hosting a server".
If there were any problems with ports not being forwarded correctly or firewall permission issues for whatever it is you're trying to do (browse,game,up/download etc..) - traffic would not go through. It's a yes or no situation - not a fluctuation.
The timeouts would be your wireless interference or just the good ole internet. When you ping a remote site ping your gateway at the same time (your router). if you can't reach the website but can reach your gateway then its the internet/Isp. If both timeout at the same time then its your wireless/cabling going to your router.
