OK, answering to my own question: http://www.allosx.com/996516293/index_html "Once the systems were busied with other tasks, the Linux systems slowed, but OS X's Core Audio system maintained its unloaded latency and placed first in the tests. " http://www.macworld.co.uk/news/main_news.cfm?NewsID=3269 "Mac OS X performed outstandingly when under system load. It offered the same latency speed as before - 2.83 ms. Previous competitors in the unloaded category dropped out of sight. Its nearest rival (with 4.3ms) was again Linux 2.4.1 OS, this time running on a dual processor Pentium 3 with a pro audio card installed and additional software. The report authors conclude: 'The new CoreAudio API, which was introduced with OS X is clearly designed for low-latency performance, and allows multiple programs to access the soundcard concurrently. Only an experimental system called Linux Audio Application Glue API provided comparable performance.'" ---> jab | commie | http://commie.oy.com "Less is moo." - The Holy Mad Cow http://www.holymadcow.org
