What Are the Disadvantages of Using Transaction Batching for Very Small, Urgent Trades?

The primary disadvantage is increased latency. Urgent trades require immediate execution, but with batching, a user must wait for the current batch window to close and for the entire batch to be processed, which can take several seconds to minutes.

For very small trades, the delay might not be worth the anti-front-running benefit. Additionally, the final execution price for a small trade is averaged with the entire batch, which might not be the most favorable price at the time of submission.
