It could be the delay on the server you're streaming to. Try changing servers and see if the delay gets better. Only other possibility could be lag that will cause the delay to progressively get worse.

Been having this same issue and was about to ask about it myself - same happens on both twitch.tv and hashd.tv too - delay is about 6-8 seconds between action in real-time and action showing on the Stream - happens with all software I've tried too even OBS.

This is normal, there are lots of buffers involved in encoding, server receiving, client-side decode, etc.
