do you have a specific reason to lay blame on the accel group?
more than say, the open dialog?
This reasoning was based on the fact that only the file menu uses
accelerators, and only the file menu experienced the delay (and only
on the first access), whether accessed by clicking with the mouse or
using a keyboard accelerator. The first access of the file menu
would cause JACK xruns about half the time, while opening a file
dialog after the file menu has already been accesed would not cause
xruns.
xruns? The GUI should _never_ be able to affect the audio thread's
performance. Aren't you running JACK in realtime mode?
