My experience is that there is no appreciable delay in OSD presentation as long as the size of the queues in madVR is not set too high. I've found that 12 and 8 (which I believe was the default prior to 0.79) is a good value. 0.79 defaults to setting the queue sizes based on the size of video RAM and for 1 gb that is 17 and 13 which, for me, causes problems with the OSD and with pausing. (The playback itself is fine with the higher values but it's just as good with 12 and 8.)

Now my machine is an i7-960 with an HD5870 and, with a considerably slower machine, more buffers may be necessary. I wonder, though, that if a machine cannot keep up using 12 and 8 it may just not be adequate.
