Thankfully, Google is starting to pay some attention to this. With

Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean), latency on the Galaxy Nexus is meant to be

about 12ms:

I have a Galaxy Nexus and 4.1, but I'm yet to find any apps that make

full use of the improved latency, so I can't say for sure how much this

helps yet, but it's still sounds like a big step in the right direction.
Unfortunately, it'll be some time before Google's efforts here filter

down to your typical Android device, since it requires attention from

device-makers, not just in terms of actually getting Jelly Bean on

devices, but also in ensuring that their hardware drivers are up to the

challenge.
