In general, meaning that it's nice to have, a low TOA is certainly not an absolute requirement for a 'good' antenna. Arriving signals do that arriving at a fairly large range of TOAs. Optimizing for the lowest one means that signals arriving at higher ones will not be heard as well. TOAs have been made into a false indication of how well things are going. Don't waste too much worry on it.
