Of course, think about what is happening: The incoming data is being
buffered by the sound card then delivered to ardour. Ardour then
typically re routes this back via jack to soundcard. You have three
options: 1) lower the latency settings for jack (-p -n) 2) Use a 
card that supports some form of HW monitoring 3) Don't monitor using ardour. 
Note that having a low latency kernel doesn't decrease latency, it
just makes things work more reliably. HTH.
