Reporting back the results of my attempts to achieve low latency on an

7200RPM is absolutely necessary to be rid of that
bottleneck,
first and
foremost. A 5400RPM imposes a practical limit to
the minimum size
of the
buffer, and from experience this can be as big as
256 (meaning
anything
lower you get xruns regardless of how good your
audio interface is).
Interesting, will have to try that on the synthesizer laptop. It's got a
5400RPM drive ... * And don't forget to report back the result so we
can conclude it as
true :)
Any buffer size smaller than 1024 causes xruns. With my UCA202 USB sound
card, that makes 64msec latency the lowest I can get right now. Although
I'm not sure the RT setup on that laptop is fully configured properly ...
