I don't think portaudio is that great for realtime work, although I think this is bordering on worst-case (compared to other apps). I've a feeling the problem might lie in the buffer size used for passing audio to portaudio.
And I've just noticed that Pd uses the PABLIO (blocking I/O) interface to Portaudio. This might be part of the problem as it certainly isn't designed fo low-latency work.
