Well. No
change in Jack behavior with LXDE, no change from total
removal of Pulse. Now I really wonder. 64-bit has definitely upped
my GUI speed, often tripled my WWW speed -- but it has either not
touched audio (synth and Jack) performance and latency, or has hurt it
slightly! Anyone seen the same thing?
Well, I will say that I've got 8GB of physical memory, which I'm seeing
all of because I'm running 64-bit, and Ardour absolutely LOVES that. :)
It's like my whole project seems to fit in memory and nothing ever loads
from disk twice, among other benefits...
And I found a really good example: LinuxSampler. On this Debian 64
Testing, after recompilation for amd64, sse2, etc., using the
instructions for Debian provided, LinuxSampler runs amazingly, all bugs
fixed, and it loads the .gig data more than four times faster.
