Flirc. $30 and worth every penny. Will map as many buttons as there are keyboard keys, and works on any device that sees a USB keyboard. Best option for Mac OS X that I've seen, too.

Just add the PLEX device to your harmony remote and then change the IR remote preferences in XBMC to "Harmony".

It's the Harmony itself that is laggy and there's nothing you can do to get completely rid of it. You can try to minimize it with these settings. And report back whether Flirc eliminates the lag, this would be interesting to know.

Since I'm not experiencing the same amount of lag with "plain" Apple IR codes from the Harmony (or any other device) I assume it's related to the Plex codes.

I have a flirc and have not set it up yet(actually, I have two of them). Have they resolved the issue if you hit the number key on remote it will go to the letter in the alphabet of that key for your movies, music or tv shows(example. you hit 2 one time it will go to the first A titled movie, then a second time it will go to B, and a 3rd to C)? This was my reluctance to switching from using my Harmony with the plex option and going to Flirc since I would lose that functionality. Thank you.
Last I checked, JumpSMS was working just fine. I'll double check a bit later.
