I dont understand what you are talking about. Someone at the pd-dev list
perhaps knows.

All I know is that I get very descent realtime performance in pd as a
normal user (even when running locate, starting new programs, etc. at
the same time). I cant get that sort of performance with jack.

Have you tried k_jack now by the way? I'm not making jokes about its
performance.
