Hosting vs Latency - jproy - 08-02-2020

Hello

is there a benefit to have the person with lowest or highest latency being the host of the session ?

Our drummer has the worst latency of the band.  (Total latency around 40ms, when I hover on his icon in the session)
The host is generally the keyboard guy, with about 30ms Total.
Bass/vocals and Guitar(me), we have in the 20ms Total Latency.

Whenever I start a song and the drum needs to join after a few bars, he gets in a bit late... after a few more bars, we usually "rejoin each other"... 
But wondering if a simple host switch would help.

No, it probably does not matter who starts or hosts a session.
In fact, in a way, JamKazam's server is the host of all sessions
