Well you know me by now - never read manuals, just make it up as I go along, so I'm probably talking rubbish. That said, here goes...
I just made a copy of one of my 48k sessions here at the studio and first set all the plugins to DSP mode and noted the track with the largest value in the delay compensation display - 2.94 mS. This is the same regardless of what buffer size is set.
I then changed all the plugins to native mode and the largest value in the delay compensation display was 12mS at 128 buffer, rising to 87mS at 1024 buffer. But the 12mS figure is irrelevant because the session won't play or record at 128 buffer with the plugins native - in fact it won't play at anything less than 1024 as far as I can see with a quick test.
But it will play and record at 128 (and indeed did, this was the big band session I mentioned elsewhere) with the plugins in DSP mode.
