In my case, BIAB doesn't have to react to real time input. I am not sending MIDI notes to the program or playing anything live. The program just plays back a sheet of chords. Exact same situation here!

From my own tests (on my 2012 Macbook Pro 15" Retina with Catalina) setting the resolution to the highest possible 3840 x 2400 , BIAB is out of sync by probably 300 milliseconds. That said, everything in the OS is sluggish on this machine in that resolution, although playing a fullscreen Youtube video was fine because that uses GPU acceleration.
Changing the GPU from integrated to discrete didn't help, but changing back to the "Default for display" resolution (which is a scaled 1440 x 900 resolution, actual screen resolution is 2880 x 1800) eliminated the delay.
I can't run Big Sur on this Macbook, and the only Big Sur compatible computer available to me doesn't have a retina screen and doesn't lag on it's own, so I can't say whether this is any better or worse with Big Sur.

In my tests, I connected my Airpods to my iMac and selected them as playback device for BIAB. [...] the chord display had NO delay! Also tried this with the AirPods Pro and... no delay Puzzling that the delay occurs over a wired connection (headphones) but not over bluetooth!

It must be that the bluetooth connection correctly reports the latency time to Mac OS where the wired connection doesn't, interesting. I'll add notes to the bug report on that.

In case it matters, just moved from a Mac Mini 2014 to the M1 2020 and the delay is now (almost) gone. It's still there but you have to be really focused to notice it.

Thanks for this suggestion. I was having the same issue, and was looking for some sort of latency parameter in Preferences (I'm sure there was one fifteen years ago!). I did the same fix to start in low resolution mode and saw huge improvement in synchronization of sound with display. I have a 2019 27" iMac with Retina 5K display, and I'm listening through external speakers connected to the headphone output port.
