Linear Phase EQ and Latency?

Question

So after reading up on all the positive tidbits of the Linear Phase EQ vs. the good old fashioned Channel EQ, I decided to start giving it a shot. I like the subtle nuances LPEQ has over CEQ and have been enjoying it.
Tonight, however, I ran into a major issue. Every instance of the LPEQ introduced some nasty latency onto the track it was put into. I tried to EQ a kick drum and the thing became so far off that I couldn't believe it. Bypassing the plug immediately sent everything back to normal.
Why does the LPEQ introduce so much latency when used? Is there any sort of workaround to lessen the effect? I bumped my buffer settings up to 512 and there wasn't a bit of difference. What's going on in the LPEQ that would make that drastic of a change? Am I missing something?

Thanks for the input, noeq.
You're weclome Brent
For the record, the latency issue started before
changing any settings. There's also no recorded
audio in the session file, all of it is soft-synths
and samplers.
I am devising a test for the synths only...without any audio in the session.I'll keep you posted on what I find.
Are you suggesting that PDC should be off to avoid
the latency issue?
At this point I am not suggesting ANYTHING.so please don't change your setup until you can find out exactly why the latency happens.By Sunday I'll have results of my tests for you to look at.
I don't think it's just my issue or a myth,
especially since tbird, iS and X all posted as having
the exact same issue with the LPEQ.
I'll be looking into this.So far with my only test,to determine default latency of Logic Plugins only,I have found it to be the case that the GuitarAmp Pro and the Space designer reverb DO have different latencies,after all other latencies have been accounted for.The Linear Phase EQ in this particular test,came out to have no latency.
Perhaps it will be a different result when I do the synth-only test.
But until I do the test,I cannot know.
Here is one of my favorite quotes,from aristotle:
"We suppose ourselves to possess unqualified scientific knowledge of a thing, as opposed to knowing it in the accidental way in which the sophist knows, when we think that we know the cause on which the fact depends, as the cause of that fact and of no other, and, further, that the fact could not be other than it is. Now that scientific knowing is something of this sort is evident-witness both those who falsely claim it and those who actually possess it, since the former merely imagine themselves to be, while the latter are also actually, in the condition described. Consequently the proper object of unqualified scientific knowledge is something which cannot be other than it is.”
— Aristotle, Posterior Analytics (Book 1 Part 2)
