[LAD] Some questions about the Jack callback

[tom at trellis.ch]

Hi,

JACK knows the internal execution order of calls to client process()
methods, and it could measure the time.
A new option for jackd, like --measure that will log the calls and times
for each cycle in a compact format (that could be further analysed).
So it would be possible to get more information on limits for specific
setups and JACK "ecosystem" situations independently of client caps.
If this this doesn't exist already in some way, making it could help in
your case too.

Greetings
Tom
