I don't doubt that it was fatiguing to play that instrument. But do you have any specific data that shows that the latency was the source of the problem? My guess is that the reduction of feedback is essential part of this. I think that a system with so little feedback will be fatiguing to play no matter how low the latency.
he is used to play his MIDI wind-controller for years.
he kept complaining about the (increased) latency during all rehearsals.
i have no reason to believe that he lied to me, when he said he had seriously more problems on the system which added more latency.
probably he was just in the "superhuman mode", but honestly i doubt this.
64k are still enough..
