Just a quick one. The absolute load is IMO not necessarily the key indicator.
E.g. If you decrease buffer size you usually experience higher load. More interrupts are kicking in. I had a similar experience when increasing the timer from 1000 to 10000Hz on my Linux machine. The point is to find a kind of balanced close to linear load condition, where the audio critical process(es) gets most of the airtime. And that's not that easy to achieve. We shouldn't forget that the Touch btw has to manage two continous important streams. The audio stream and the ethernet stream. However. High CPU loads (in relative terms!!!) causing non-linear/race/out-of-balance conditions must be avoided.
