I bet it depends a lot on which piezo p/u you use.

here's my reason, from the website :-

"StringPort brings the actual sound of each string into the computer as an 
audio signal, where sophisticated analysis algorithms to extract a 
string’s 
sonic properties with low latency and high resolution."

so the latency is greater than a hardware Midi converter
which doesn't have to buffer the audio in and out of a pc/mac.
