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.cf. http://music.columbia.edu/pipermail/portaudio/2002-March/000578.html

Another thing to try is Miller's new "callback" support. Its a
checkbox in the audio settings.
About this, I don't think anyone really thinks its good as it is, its
just a matter of someone doing the work to improve it. The Jack
support in Pd does seem to get a lot more work on it, so that's
probably also a good reason why it works better.

If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an
idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps
it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into
the possession of everyone, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself
of it. - Thomas Jefferson
