Before I attempted live-looping with my laptop, I was happy with my  
Presonus interface and blissfully unaware of latency issues (my  
recording software compensates for latency and all was well -- my  
tracks (dubs) always lined up).

When I started live-looping, the Presonus was too slow for what I  
wanted to do.  I switched to an RME interface and can run with  
latencies as low as 10ms.

In normal use, I set the buffer sizes to achieve a latency around 13ms.

The bottleneck (for me) is the PCI bus and firewire port.  I have  
plenty of CPU power and memory -- but that !@#%^&*$ PCI bus is a  
headache.  I would much prefer to utilize a desktop computer however a  
laptop is manageable when I go out to play.  Why a desktop?  Because I  
can choose/upgrade perepherals.  Laptops are cast in stone.

For now, I have learned how to work around the limitations of my computer.
