With advances in microtechnology, expect the delay to shrink to where it's virtually identical to the real thing.
True, I guess with something artifical as a bionic arm, you would have to take some time to really think about and concetrate on moving the arm itself and after awhile, it'll come naturally. I'd be interested in reading about users of bionic arm and their experience.
