[LAU] : jack CPU % is going crazy !

Sounds similar to the issue I spoke of here a week ago.
If its the latest Qjackctl built with QT4, its a QT4 problem of yet
to be defined origin. Only difference I had, going by your  
description, was that
My CPU was running at 99% and staying there.

If you run jack from the command line and see normal Cpu, this
would point to the same problem.

I have not yeilded a root cause from my Googling. Only some
similar instances from other users, not only with Qjackctl & Qsynth,
but also Skype and others built with QT4.

My fix for now was to revert to an older version of qjackctl.

Thanks!
