At this scale, I'm concerned about latency due to the speed of light travel time.

If you aren't gaming then latency concerns are really overblown.
They were obviously joking talking about light speed, but I strongly disagree. Even ignoring how it improves the feel of typing, I'm a mouse-using heretic and it makes a huge difference with mice.
It's just a joke, light only takes 3 nanoseconds to go a meter.
could be 2 nanoseconds if you built it in Rust.
I propose a new movement: RRIR instead of RIIR
