Perhaps it's tickless vs not tickless regarding to IRQ handling of the hardware MIDI or simply the very high resolution. A coder might give us some insight. For MIDI internal Linux I guess there are no layers, excepted of bridges between ALSA and JACK that might cause issues. perhaps I'm mistaken, but I never noticed an issue for a stable DAW. MIDI jitter. Take care to keep backwards compatibility, some people e.g. still use 64 Studio. Other stuff at the moment is in a transition state. You never know what services to start and stop by /etc/init.d/foo and what by the command "service". Better wait with editing until we all are forced to use GNOME3 or Unity with hard dependencies to upstart or systemd, sorry I couldn't resist, since current Xfce at the moment is a PITA and the upstream situation makes me taking a look at FreeBSD now, of cause not for audio and MIDI, but I will test this too.
