30ms is pretty close to noticeable for anything that responds to user input. 30ms startup + 20-70ms processing would probably bump you into the noticeable latency range.


People play midi keyboards with 30 ms latency.


Yeah I don’t think 30ms is very noticeable, but say you have a cli tool with other 20-70ms to bump you up to 50-100ms your tool will have noticeable latency. Death by a thousand cuts.
