hi,

i was wondering if anybody had something new to share about this topic. I have basically the same machine as jjcomet and i can't get below 35 ms. I have tried practically everthing with and without Asio4all, with and without my emu 0404 usb soundcard, but i just can't get a reasonable latency. this is all the more frustrating as i ve seen post of people using PD in windows who could go down to less than 10 ms...

hi all,

just a quick update. I have switched to ubuntu studio (9.04), which (supposedly) has a realtime kernel, and it is a heck of a lot faster. I m running it on an old hp laptop with 256 MB of RAM and a 1.6Ghz processor. PD allows me to lower the latency to 5 ms or less (although i can't tell if this is the real value), even when i use patches which include objects that are quite cpu-expensive, such as sigmund~ .
