I basically agree with your analysis of the delays needed. The functions needed for implementing a PID feedback loop can all be done in one sample time. So if the sample rate is high enough it should work fine. If you can balance a scooter http://www.tlb.org/scooter.html with 8 bit microcontrollers I see no reason why a DSP could not close a loop on a siesmograph with a natural period around 1 second or even 0.1 second.
