>0.2 sec gives the felling of instantaneous response
This is obviously false. Ideally test with an Arduino or other hard-realtime capable system, but assuming your computer doesn't have absolutely terrible latency you can still test with it. Disable your compositor if you're using one, and use a low latency terminal with uncapped framerate like xterm.
The popular method of running "sleep 0.1" alone is not actually a fair test, because a newline is printed immediately on running the command, so you might just be seeing the flicker and not the latency. A better method is comparing:

To me the difference is clearly visible.
