I read about zita-ajbridge:
http://kokkinizita.linuxaudio.org/linuxaudio/zita-ajbridge-doc/quickguide.h…
Set Jack to use its dummy driver, and then (in background) run zita-a2j for output and/or
zita-j2a for input, and then ignore the 'system' input and output ports and use
the Zita ports. I went from 5.33ms to 1.33ms latency, and from occasional xruns to zero,
and even with that my jackd usage percent is cut in half! Shocking. And that's three
Yoshimis simultaneously. :-) I am tempted to giggle, but I am happier than that!!!
The only partial catch was MIDI; without the ALSA driver for Jack, one does not have Jack
MIDI :-) Unless, of course, one uses a2jmidid, so that's what I'm doing. With
such a small Jack period, the extra period for a2jmidid is not an issue.
Just had to report, and congratulate, and thank, everyone involved!!!!!

the latest version of JACK 1 has the zita-a2j/j2a tools available as
builtin clients, a2jmidi available as a builtin "slave" driver, and reduces
MIDI latency even further, just FYI.

Paul, I should have guessed :-) Any idea how best to identify it under Arch Linux --
perhaps the 'git' version of jack2?

The standard Arch Jack package. This is Jack1 0.124.1, Jack2 doesn't have
zita-x2y built-in.

A world of exhaustive, reliable metadata would be an utopia.
It's also a pipe-dream, founded on self-delusion, nerd hubris

Hmm... What parameters are you using for Jack and zita-x2y ?
I have some difficulty in believing that 1.33 ms latency.
