Musicians will start to notice anything greater than about 7-10ms between keypress and sound. Below the threshold of consciously noticing the delay, it's still possible to make an instrument or UI feel subjectively "snappier" by reducing the delay further. If the browser is to host any audio-related applications, the minimum latency needs to be much lower than 50ms.
