The lowest delay in ms I have reached before the sound gets quicky is
11ms, but it depends on whether I use Jackpilot and what
audiointerface I use (the macbook internal soundcard can't do 11ms,
but my mbox2 can).

It was my impression that this delay is all the latency PD have, but
maybe I'm wrong? Is it even possible to measure where in the system
the latency occur?
