If you are using a Futaba FASST module and receives there is absolutely no difference between module based systems and built-in non-module. If you are using another after market module then you may very well be seeing an effect of latency. All other non-Futaba modules will not be as fast as the Futaba module in a Futaba radio.
 
Actually, there are two different type of FASST modules.
 
1) The TM-7 and TM-8 modules fit the older radios (9C included) and must use the PPM pulse train that the older 72MHz modules used.  As such, the transmitter MUST be in PPM transmission mode, so the latency can't be any better than a PPM system. (Which is actually faster than the 72MHz PCM systems from what I understand).
 
2) The 10 and 14 channel modules (10C, 12Z and 14MZ systems). These have a different means of communicating with the modules in native FASST mode, and should be no different than the non-module native 2.4g systems. The latency should be faster than the PPM pulse train used above. 
 
The link previously posted to the latency testing did not show any TM-7 or TM-8 information. I believe these are the only FASST modules that will work in the 9C under question. However, my experience with both in my 8UAPS has been positive.
