The CPU also has to process incoming communication data. You will see increased latency if there isn't free CPU time.

Speed controllers are updated at a maximum of 0.005 seconds. Driver station data is received at a maximum of 0.02 seconds. 0.01 is a happy compromise. If you are only reading data from the driver station, 0.02 is all you need.
