What would cause delay in IOT demonstrator lesson?

Hello everyone!
I have a question regarding one of the lessons under 'Networking Lessons' that links to this tutorial on setting up a basic Internet of Things demonstration:

Basically, one Pi is polling a GPIO that has a switch and sends that status over Ethernet to another Pi that then drives an LED on or off based on the switch status.

I have two Pi's running Raspian Jessie connected via an L2 switch and both Pi's have static IP's set. The basic functionality is working perfectly but I noticed that there's a delay between changing the switch state and the LED changing.

What could be causing this delay? Is it the GPIO polling or the network interface?

It depends on the amount of delay. Some guesses: background app blocking the transfer or network delay.
