latency introduced by the Acard

There's some latency?

The limiting factor would be the speed of the flash I'd say.

if a native SCSI adapter exists (CF to SCSI) would that be faster still?

No. The limiting factor is the flash speed.

It is roughly 10 times faster for HDDs (assuming modern IDE HDD, A1200 IDE [A4000 IDE should be the same?] vs CS MK3/PPC UW SCSI).

Again, since the flash is quite slow for writing you will not get as much speedup for it.
