According to http://www.grame.fr/~letz/Timing.pdf asynchronous mode is
only sensible to use when your audio cards driver interrupt is regular.
It also more or less explains how this can be measured.
I'm not totally sure how to interpret it properly in my case, but it's
a USB audio interface, which might be problematic by definition.

In a sense it's regular... +/- 500usec all the way...
Well, smp doesn't make sense on my machine anyway, so I stick with jack1
(well, tschack atm.).

What is synchronous mode? (A link to the place in
the docs would be a plenty good answer, sorry, I don't feel like fishing around in it
right now).
AFAIK, synchronous mode is what jack1 does:
read from soundcard
process graph
write to soundcard
while jack2's default mode is
write output of previous cycle to soundcard
read from soundcard
process graph
which is somewhat more resilient to occasional xruns,
but adds one cycle of latency.
