I think the problem is less about delays at the switch but with latency caused by sharing the Ethernet adapter in the PC with the rest of Linux.

You can work out the delay of a cut-through switch at 100M bits per second. Comes to a handful of microseconds. But does it matter if the delay is always the same? It is variability that matters. We are about talking nanoseconds. That said, I'd not want to use a network that was also being used by a few others to stream a video. But even then, a "managed" switch would fix it for you. Try it and measure the results. My bet is that you can have several LCNC computers and machine tools on the same Eithernet switch.
