[PD-ot] how low (latency) can you go?

:)
yes, and this latency question is quite a cyclic thread on this list. It
comes back regularly (pd-list archive is your friend).

Myself, I've been pretty much into fine tuning of my system in the past to 
reach the lowest latency possible, without really understanding basic 
concept such as the latency of the hardware, of the kernel, of the
software itself etc etc....

My main concern today is much simpler, if I can't "feel" any latency
with my hdsp when using Pd and if I don't have any xruns then I'm 
happy.

On the kernel side, in pure:dyne we've been playing with RT Ingo
Molnar's patches and this results in a very nice system for audio
(without xruns on jack on regular hardware and oldy pIII ...)
