Maybe it has nothing to do with this:

    I also wonder why JACK's zero-copy implementation could cause issues
    for
    audio apps. There was an issue for Qtractor, anyway, until today I
    believed that there is no latency when using JACK in any way, excluded
    connections regarding to the sound card.
    I never noticed a latency, but maybe it's because I used this insert
    connections for time related FX only, e.g. flanger and delay.

    Interesting to read about latency I never was able to hear.

But anyway, what version of Qtractor do you use? There was an issue 
related to a supposed zero-copy implementation for outdated versions of 
Qtractor, that a long time ago was fixed in SVN or even in the 
previously used CVS.
