lower latency = lower throughput == YES

lower throughput = lower overall performance == NOT NECESSARILY

It depends on how you measure performance. For me performance means
that real time audio, such as vocals from a singer, flow through the
machine without being delayed enough for the singer to hear the delay.
That's performance since without it the machine is useless.

Granted, I get fewer MIPS, etc., but the machine's performance, as I
measure it, is higher.
