The "delay" setting controls the ringbuffer size of the parent process (only true if not in "callback" mode). The "-fifo" argument for [pd~] controls the ringbuffer size of the subprocess.
Any CPU spikes which the subprocess ringbuffer can't handle will "spill" over to the parent process.

Hi Christof,
Thanks! I am a bit confused, though. Is the "buffer (=delay)" the -fifo or are you talking about block sizes in parent and subprocess?
Best,
