why shouldn't it make sense? 256ms is justas valid as 7ms

afaik this is correct.
Pd will silently ignore the audiobuf flag when using jack as backend 
(butthen i don't use jack so often so i might be mistaken here)

i don't think so. even if the dsp calculations are callback-driven by 
jack, you still have all the message stuff going on.
additionally, in older versions of Pd (<0.41?) the jack-callback will 
actually not trigger the dsp-processing but rather only read a buffer 
the contents of which have been calculated with Pd's priority.
i think this has changed with 0.41, but haven't had a deeper look at the 
code yet.
