<font size=3>Bill, that is an empirical question -- one that could be
tested in the lab. However, I am convinced that your implication is
correct: the difference between 7 ms and 14ms is probably not
detectable by anyone. The fascinating question is, where is the
mean cut-off time between non-detectable and detectable
delays...<br><br>
Anyone got a coupl'a mil $$ so I can but the equipment and conduct the
tests??? lol<br><br>

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">The next question then becomes,
at what level can we perceive a difference in performance? In other
words, can we really perceive a difference between 7ms and 14ms latency?
I will not argue that large differences are readily perceptible (25
versus 250), but what about smaller differences. How large of a
difference does there need to be and is there a threshold below which it
does not really matter?<br><br>

you, Bill. As an R/C pattern jockey, I will only point out that the
electronic latency is ADDED TO the wet-ware latency...<br><br>
Thus, your last statement is true, indeed!<br><br>

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">I am amused by discussions about
latency. We have long discussions about the perceived advantages of
single digit differences in system latency while ignoring the fact that
the average human reaction time (call it organic latency) is around 250
milliseconds. <br><br>
I guess you can argue that since we are inherently so slow we need all
the electronic help we can get!! <br><br>

A lot of people are hung up on transmitter/receiver latency numbers, and
don't see the whole picture. This gives as good a fact based write
up as any I've seen.<br><br>
