Extra Delay When Sending Characters - Serial Terminal #1290

TeraTerm has been a very powerful program but we are encountering an issue. I am wondering if there is something which can be modified to improve the outcome in new versions of TeraTerm.

To meet a very tight window in a system, a command must be sent within 8ms of power-up. A simple macro is used to wait for a confirmation character and then to send the command. (Wait '' -> send 'password') This is through a serial connection with 57600 baud rate.

In versions of TeraTerm 4.102 and earlier, the macro has no problem and is able to meet the timing consistently.
In versions of TeraTerm 4.103 and later, including 5.0 versions, the command is sent too late and the window is impossible to hit.

I have simplified my macro to the absolute bare minimum but there seems to be some built-in delay which was added in new versions.
Any help in overcoming this problem is greatly appreciated; we would prefer to use the newest version possible.
