There will be the obvious delay if you actually build a cascade of the
minimum-phase filter and its stable, causal inverse. In the Mathemagic
Kingdom, when poles and zeros cancel, they just go away. The real world
isn't so obliging.

How would one go about computing this delay (just to see if I understand
this correctly)?

Jerry,

Once you said very good phrase; I remembered it:

Compute the separate delays and add them up.

Did I really? How clever of me!
