And always, when talking about latency, I feel the need to point out the speed of sound: 340 m/s or .34 m/ms. So if your speakers are 2m away from you, that's 6ms of latency. You could spend days tweaking your machine to get 3ms less latency, or you could move 1m closer to your speakers. Puts things into perspective...
indeed 'tis true. but 5ms vs. 10ms makes a major subjective/perceptual difference if we're talking about playing an electro-acoustic instrument in and getting a munged signal out...
