Exactly, and it are precisely those 23 ms that you brain use to have
an idea of your studio size.

Imagine using a Linux machine as a reverb (let's say using jMax :),
those 23 ms would be added to the reverb predelay, and reduce
your ability to control the mix.

And yes, those 23 ms make a difference to your ear ...

This is one of the reason input-output latency should be reduced as much
as possible.
