Not the communication, but I think Hydrogen over jack has more delay
then directly,
but I don't know this for sure.
Also jack causes other , not jack programs like audio plugins for
browser, to hang/stop.
I think that in the case I also like to use my normal desktop
applications and a sequencer
I jump to alsa.
Why is jack / or an other audio layer not completely integrated like in
windows and mac os,
so that you don't have to start al the seperate applications?

Well, Hydrogen doesn't seem to have Jack MIDI, so you couldn't control
it that way anyway. This is proof of the network effect -- the more
existing apps use Jack MIDI, the more attractive it becomes to new apps.
But in general, I don't see why two apps communicating over Jack MIDI
would encounter more delay compared to two apps communicating over
ALSA MIDI.
