Question / Help SRT stream high latency

Hi everyone,

I‘m trying to get the latency of my stream down as much as possible. (at least to around 2sec)
My stream looks like this OBS(playback of 720p25 h264 file)->SRT->NimbleServer->SLDP player

It works great so far but my latency is around 4-5seconds. (Buffering in sldp player set to 1/1.5sec)
So I‘ve tested OBS -> SRT -> VLC locally on the same machine and the latency is around 3 seconds. Is this what you would expect from a software encoder like OBS or am I missing something?

Ps. The PC is quite a fast I7 with GTX1080TI, using around 3% CPU when streaming
PPs. I have to use the recording SRT feature in OBS, the stream never seems to connect to the nimble server (guide: https://obsproject.com/wiki/Streaming-With-SRT-Protocol)

Any help / pointers would be greatly appreciated
