I think FreeSync somewhat alleviates that. But of course Nvidia doesn't agree to do it the same way. I do agree that video latency is atrocious. It takes longer to do a screen refresh than to send an ethernet packet across the country!

Well you do need to consider (according to my naive estimated calculations) that:

a 1920x1080 picture is worth 4000 ethernet packets.

Does Freesync make switching monitor resolutions faster..?

No, it does not. Freesync just allows for variable refresh rates.
