M1XSP + w800RF32 + insteon

I used to have w800rf32 and insteon plm connected to a pc with homeseer. Then I use the palmpad to switch some insteon lights on or off. This scenario worked very well. Now I am starting to migrate things to my M1, so I bought 2 M1xsp and connected the w800 and insteon PLC to the 2 M1XSP. Now when I press the Palmpad to switch lights on or off I notice some delay in executing the commands. Is this delay expected ??? Thanks

I can't believe no one else has this same set up. Now getting frustrated !!!
 
Are you using rules to map the W800 to Insteon devices? Or are you using the Insteon devices with an X-10 address? Do you have an XEP? If so, what is the speed of controlling the light via the web interface?
 
I have the following rule:
WHENEVER AltarLight (L1) IS TURNED ON
THEN TURN AltarLight (A3) ON

A3 is the insteon light device code
L1 is the Palmpad device code

I do not have XEP so I am using the keypad. Turning A3 on from keypad had 1 second delay. Turning L1 on (to turn A3 on using rules) from keypad takes 2 seconds. Turning L1 on from Palmpad takes 4-5 seconds from Palmpad > W800 > rules > A3 execution. So it looks like the dealy is From W800 to rules execution. According to the manual, the baud rate on XSP connected to w800 does not matter. Am I missing something ?
