Kai just answered this in another mail:

! each hop from a loop output to its input, causes an
! additional delay of one engine iteration (equivalent to
! -b:size, e.g. -b:1024@44100Hz -> delay of ~23.2ms). You can
! modify the delay by setting -b:xxx to different values, but
! this is a bit clumsy and may have side-effects to e.g.
! overall performance (low buffersize values increase engine
! overhead).

The plan is for Nama to traverse the routing graph
and compensate for the latency of loop devices
as well as LADSPA plugins. 

A little time and enthusiasm is needed to do it; however,
I'm sure this "industrial strength" feature will draw hordes
of users to Nama's friendly gates. :-)
