For a typical jack app (like midixlate), you only have
latencies for the hardware ports. (Usually estimated by
SAMPLES_PER_PERIOD * PERIODS_PER_BUFFER / SAMPLE_RATE,
e.g. 1024*2/48000 = 42.7 ms.) I
think you get 2x that figure if you're doing both input and
output -- but it might be 1x.

There's no additional latency for the software
processing.[1] This is the main advertisement for the JACK
API -- it adds *no* additional latency.[2]

Peace,
Gabriel

[1] That is, unless you have a complicated JACK
     connection graph, or a processor that
     intentionally creates delays.
[2] See http://jackaudio.org/faq "Doesn't use [sic] JACK
     add latency?"
