I think as the Audacity code has been reworked during the 1.1 and 1.2-pre series, the lag after clicking play or record has increased - this is a purely subjective judgement on my part. On my machine its more like 2 seconds. I suspect this is to do with improved buffering design, as I very rarely get any clicks or dropouts now. Cheers Daniel
