I also noticed that the delay is much less if the ConEmu far plugins are not installed.

After testing on different machines i noticed that the delay is very small (barely noticeable) on a fast system but really shows on slower VMs.

Yes that's much better, thanks.

I've just tested the same ConEmu+Far setup on two virtual machines with identical hardware (and on the same host), one running Windows 10 v1607, and the other Windows 10 v1809....
