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
