Performance differences in switches - negligible?

This is a very noob question, sry about that... I have a small cage in a DC, there are 3 servers in it... I am using a really basic 1GBps switch with 5 ports, probably it's really for home use idk, bought it off Amazon for $25. It does exactly what I want, is there any point to spend more money? The only reason I would spend more money is if different switches were faster, as internet latency to one of the servers is critical, but people have told me that basically switches are all so fast (<1ms) that it won't make any difference. Is this true?
