When the only source of latency is the extra ~16ms added by the composting, you likely can't feel it, but it adds up to other sources of latency that can make things feel bad more often. Such as:
-latency added by text editors depending on their quality and the amount of work they are doing (colors, intellisense, file size, etc).
-latency added by keyboards, some are worse than others
-latency added by monitors. Good ones are in the 1ms range but bad ones can be as high as 40
Sadly the latency on all of these fronts has generally been trending higher as computers have gotten more powerful.
