Gravitons, disturbances in the field, are supposed to travel at the speed of
light.  Einstein's theory,
being a gauge theory, is non-local, however.  You can think of space as being 
prepared (Are you listening, John Cage?)
by the existence of masses.  This prepared space reacts locally
instantaneously to local phenomena, e.g. rotating water buckets.
