Hi Thomas!
God knows why, but I tried 5000 as well once, but faired best with 4500.
But still if it doesn't work, I suppose it's something ese. this onlyhelps,
when starting larger audio apps, that take a little time to get loaded.
LinuxSampler used to crash my JACK without that, so might Ardour in theory.
It's just a precaution. You might store that setting anyway.
Kindly yours
Julien
