Just curious, don`t have fusion yet, but have Boot Camp. Do you have an ssd or hdd spinning drive? The ssd and ram seems to be the most important for minium latency. I experience a little latency in boot camp with a fusion drive because it use the hdd spinning drive only for Boot Camp. Lacie rugged external ssd with thunderbolt for about $250 may be an option to try soon.
