Yes, having to load firmware is awful, but this should not affect
latency. :)

No.

It is possible that the devices have different buffer sizes, so that
sending multiple MIDI messages at once is more difficult. Have a look
at the respective values of wMaxPacketSize that are shown in the output
of "lsusb -v". Furthermore, the devices can have different internal
buffers.

Which interface did you use for sending/receiving?

Best regards,
