100ms lag? That's only 6FPS!

That better be worse case not typical.  No air guitar at that rate of input.

You are mistaking lag for FPS.  NATAL provides 30 FPS, each with 100 ms of lag.  For comparison, controller lag in Kill Zone has been reported to be 166 ms.  100 ms seems to be in the ballbark of wireless controllers so not much to complain about.
