Assuming you are using the same set of outputs for all of your chains,you must be using some sort of mixer. I think I recall nonmixer.

(Your URL in your sig does not point to a web page that explains your setup) It may be that the mixer/plugin host you are using does not lend itself to async operation.

please, no more "async". JACK is not asynchronous.

he is using nonmixer which i believe creates multiple JACK clients in order to exploit possible parallelism in the JACK server rather than implementing itself. that is why his .dot graph shows multiple "mixer" clients. they are likely all inside one process, but created independently to process non's own view of its internal graph.
