Performance was great with X windows and without. Again, I built the latest Pd vanilla so that might have something to do with it? Also, I'm using a USB soundcard (Roland Edirol UA-25EX) not the built in one. I didn't try Pd with the gui at 6 ms, but it was working fine at 12 ms. I don't use the gui when running the system for a show as it's not needed.

Yes.

Dunno.
