You're absolutely right, latency in the checkout process is a conversion killer. Somehow Paypal currently seems broken, maybe it's still related to the Dyn DDOS attacks which took Paypal down completely.
During our testing, Paypal had latencies of ~100-500ms but these new latency outiers of 10 seconds are a no-go. We will definitely change the code to make that API call asnychronous. Generally Paypal Plus is still quite buggy and not well documented.
