I would have thought even if UAD plugins introduced latency, they could still run comfortably at 64 sample buffers and ADC in Pro Tools would just kick into gear and take care of it when playing back a mix while tracking.
yes of course for mixing that's fine.. most will add about 24ms latency each and the PDC will take care of it.

Because pro tools has an internal 1024 buffer mixing engine, UAD adds that plus whatever the latency of the plugin is.

My gripe is with apollo and console which is billed as zero latency monitoring and it's all a lie.
A big one.
