This is kind of a third thread I create about some drop outs I get with Pd and Jack. Anyone thinks that CPU affinity can help my situation? Anyone applies CPU affinity when using Pd? If so, how can I do it? I'm on Ubuntu 12.04 with Pd-0.45-4 and Jack 1.9.8 Also, I've installed indicator-cpufreq in order to set the CPU to a fixed frequency but that won't help either... Can anyone help me out?

My observation with similar setups (Pd on Ubuntu) is that CPU scaling doesn't react fast enough for Pd. When doing live music with lots of synthesizer patches, I often see the CPU stuck at the lowest frequency, although drop-outs occur. In performance situation I usually set the CPU frequency manually to the maximum value. My guess is, that even if doesn't help now, it might help you later, once you fixed your current problem.
