I'm wondering if anyone can comment on this. It seems odd, especially since
the jack developers claim jack adds no latency by itself to the picture in
any situation---so, do we have a situation where the code is better written
for the alsa driver than for jackd? It seems we do, in this case....
Best,

JACK adds no latency but it adds a bit more CPU usage. Nothing too
much to be noticed on fast CPUs but if you are very limited with
resources it is very noticable (on my old EEE704 I can run Pianoteq
with alsa and using Rhody patch almost normally but with JACK it won't
do. On my Core2Duo I can't even see difference in CPU usage between
JACK and alsa).
