On my RME laptop rig the roundtrip latency is about 12 ms. Not quite
"substantial" to me, but that's of course personal. I would guess it
translates to standing three meters way from your amp speaker.
Musicians coming from a live gigging background don't have much
problem with latency because it exists in the air and varies on every
stage, but home studio bedroom musicians that are used to playing with
headphones might find latency a bigger challenge.

I guess latency wouldn't mean much of a problem in this thread that is
about a plugin that takes the distinct attack away from the sound
anyway ;-)
