I think the delay can be disabled on most Disklaviers - George Litterst
(AKA "PianoBench") and other experts in this group can tell you for
sure.  But disabling this feature does not reduce the delay to zero.
You'd still get a bit of latency that depends on the MIDI velocity
level.  You might be able to find a level that happens to result in
latency matching that of your other physical instruments, though.
