Maybe it is a point of obsession to some.

But I've experienced that sensitivity to latency is very subjective.

Maybe there's an age component as well, with younger people being more sensitive.

When I use other people's computers and they have not optimized the latency (e.g. running a sluggish Windows with lots of background processes stealing the CPU, Alt+Tab taking several hundred milliseconds, etc.) I get angry, and I don't understand how anyone can live with a computer that is orders of magnitude slower than your own reactiveness.
