Typing speed (throughput) and latency are (somewhat) orthogonal.

Some people appear to be sensitive to throughput, some to jitter, some to absolute latency. I'd even argue that "fast" typists may be less sensitive to absolute latency as there's more of a streaming approach than with "slow" typists which is more event-based.

But it's also personal. Whatever my typing speed is, I want things to happen ~"right now".
