>if the system I'm using has excessive latency (more of a 90s problem than today)

Hmm? If anything a lot of modern software is worse even from 80s latency, from extra processing going on in the editor, all the way to inefficient polling and scan rate in keyboards, USB latency, monitor refresh latency (next frame, 60fps = ~16ms wait if you're unlucky and press towards the start of a previous refresh) and so on. And that's not even accounting for extra layers like Electron.

Sure, https://danluu.com/input-lag/ has probably done the most thorough review of this. But in the 90s, remote work for me meant a lot of interactive sessions from Boston to the Bay Area, and this decade, it means "pull all of the code locally and build it locally" because terabyte SSDs are free and I still use emacs :-)
