[PD] Best PD+OS/Hardware combinations for low audio latency?

that is a known issue ... pd is using pablio on osx and windo$, which is 
unable to achieve decent latencies ... the devel_ branch contained a 
workaround for that, not sure about the recent vanilla release ...

good idea, the pd's audio driver access on linux is not as broken as on 
other platforms ...
