Looks like there are some problems with the soundcard drivers. I'm running very heavy patches with 3 ms. Both on Windows XP and Ubuntu. Audio and MIDI. However, on Windows I am using a RME HDSP card which has very good ASIO drivers. Don't forget to set system options to "background tasks" (very important!). I also noticed that in general Intel CPUs are pretty bad for Pd since they use hyperthreading which makes Pd see two CPUs and uses only 50% of one core. AMDs are twice as efficient because Pd uses the entire core.

That's fine but what if you want to trigger sound with the MIDI input? I've been trying some settings and find that if I set the delay less than 100ms the MIDI delay goes up to about 500ms, if it works at all.
I usually only use Pd on WinXp to generate background tracks since the latency is so awful compared to linux.
