Dispatch latency refers to the delay between the time a task is ready to run and the moment it actually starts executing on the CPU. For example, in a multi-threaded application, if a thread is scheduled to run but must wait for the CPU to become available due to higher-priority tasks, the time spent waiting represents dispatch latency. This can affect the overall performance and responsiveness of the application, particularly in real-time systems where timely execution is critical.
The time between when a thread is scheduled and when it begins to execute. Theoretically, in a preemptive OS the dispatch latency for a high-priority thread should be very low. However, in practice preemptive OSs are non-preemptive at times; for example, while running an interrupt handler. The duration of the longest possible non-preemptive interval is said to be the worst-case dispatch latency of an OS.

Many systems are dominated by throughput limitations or by latency limitations. For example, in online gaming, latency issues are a constant problem.
CAS (column access strobe) Latency and RAS (row access strobe) Latency
The Latency ended in 2011.
The Latency was created in 2006.
Lag is followed up by latency. If you detect latency but not lag, then someone else has it.
Dispatch
you can dispatch the product now. My order has been Dispatched.
the dispatch of American troops to Nicaragua to protect its pro-American government
A transcontinental fiber link might have many gigabits/sec of bandwidth , but the latency will also be high due to the speed of light propagation over thousands of KM.In constract a 56 kbps modem calling a computer in the same building has low bandwidth and low latency
