The great thing about pulse-based neural networks (like a human brain) is that latency, as long as it's constant, is not an issue. In fact you'd want connections with a wide variety of different latencies. They should be random, but remain constant over the life of the simulation. Plus you have to keep in mind that this is a simulation. Computer can't keep up ? Run it at half "real-time".
