I think what Missphant was asking wasn't "what is input latency" but was "does flatpak introduce more input latency than a 'normal' application". Unfortunately, after a quick search I didn't find any benchmarks. (I didn't look very thoroughly.)
Ohhh! No using flatpak doesn't cause any of that. Flatpak is great.
