Determining typing latency

Hi all,

When I use an editor (vi) that is spawned in a remote server, visually I could see the latency between typing a character/word and being displayed on the terminal. I could see this visually but how do I get a metric on this or how to quantify this?

As expected, when I type in a editor spawned in my local desktop there is no latency / there is latency that I cannot observe optically (as you know it looks like almost the same event - therefore typing a character and the character to appear on the screen)

Any pointers on how to quantify the typing latency?

I tried with wpm (words per minute), sometimes since the latency is high I am not really convinced whether that is a right metric.

Pointers please. Thanks
