Latency means "any delay or the time it takes for a response". Just think - why you need to delay transfer from hardware to CPU?

a lower latency means faster transfer, but it might interrupt the CPU by taking more CPU time.
a higher latency means slow transfer, but it helps the CPU to relax a bit.

Just set the latency to default value, do not worry about it if nothing goes wrong with your system, really.
Unless you encounter problem with PCI hardware, then you might need to increase your PCI latency.
