i would definitely not engineer my system on what truckers' opinion is

this topic has been beaten to death throughout all aspects of computing, it always goes like this:

1. someone complains about input lag, because he feels it and it's annoying and prohibitive

2. other people who are slow and / or have misconfigured systems with such worse problems that they don't notice this disagree

3. 7 years later its proven to a wider audience that the lag is there and all the people who said it was there were right

4. the company sells an all new "low input lag" model (which doesn't actually require any money to implement, aside from a few hours dev time)
