I think the problem is less about delays at the switch but with latency caused 
by sharing the Ethernet adapter in the PC with the rest of Linux.

You can work out the delay of a cut-through switch at 100M bits per
second.  Comes to a handful of microseconds.   But does it matter if the
delay is always the same?   It is variability that matters.  We are about
talking nanoseconds.

That said, I'd not want to use a network that was also being used by a few 
others to stream a video. But even then, a "managed" switch would fix it for 
you.

Try it and measure the results.   My bet is that you can have several LCNC
computers and machine tools on the same Eithernet switch.
