Further to this, serial MIDI only runs at 31.250 kbaud, which means that
the maximum resolution of a MIDI note on is 42 samples at 44.1kHz (30 bits
at 31250bits/s).

Obviously things like OSC have greater time resolution, but it shows that
sample accurate note triggering isn't essential. It may something worth
droppping for efficiency.
