All of those goodies on IRQ 11 is probably what's killing you. Try
moving your sound card to different slots until it gets an IRQ to
itself. You really want IRQ 9 or 10 if possible otherwise it's going to
be lower priority than your stuff on IRQ 11. I didn't really put any
"tricks" per se in the ALSA_JACK_ARDOUR doc just suggestions from Mark
Knecht and others and my own experience with it. Playing with the
latency setting helps.

yes, as well as actual pd results. it seems i was using a messed up
custom latencytest, and when i found the proper one (i have many on my
system and it's been 2 years since using them) i got the best results i've
ever seen (1.1ms max for all tests at 0% cpu, 1.2ms at 80%).
so, it looks like the problem must be with pd. i'm going to try some
older versions now.
For some info do check (seems to be down at the
moment)

thanks. it's up now.
Did you check what IRQ your card was assigned?
There's lots of interesting
info in the above document.
11, and nothing on 8 or 9 (though my eth, usb [unused], agp card, and
onboard sound [unused] are all on 11 as well).
As a sidenote, my system doesn't do much
better than the 16ms scenario
either... I don't know if it's hardware or software problems... Trying the
"tricks" in the document above did help though...
what "tricks?"
thanks,
