Good suggestion.

There should be no difference: the processing delay has just the same
effect as any delay, for example the one introduced by speaker to mic
distance. It's in a different place in the loop, but loops being what
they are, that doesn't matter.
One thing I learned is that effect processors can make the situation
much worse. So if your problem is with the monitor mix as Jens assumed,
I'd suggest to leave out the effects there. And in that case you could
equally well use zero delay monitoring either from you card or directly
from the mixing desk.
