Does "input block timeout" add (small) input lag for touch controls?

I don’t fully understand the description of this latency option.

#2

The way it works is it stalls the whole emulation process and waits for additional inputs. The higher the number, the easier it is to make multi-button actions. IIRC, it functions similar to frame delay insofar as setting it too high won’t leave enough time to complete the emulation task in a single frame.

So, in other words, a higher number means…smaller lag? similar to frame delay?

Edit: just like you said, it is Frame Delay v.2. The impact on performance is the same too. Good way to shove a few extra ms of lag if the CPU is fast enough.
