For my needs it seems ubuntu performs just as well as arch (I'm even running the standard ubuntu kernel here), and running the more non-standard selection of software I had going under arch means little strange things keeps poping up. Like, not being able to get in contact with renoise after a fast render to disc. Like not being able to compile a working miniAudicle. Like my beloved transcribe! segfaulting. Like wines jack output suddenly not working anymore. These problems are not archs fault, more a result of the bleeding edge nature of an arch box. But for now I decided my life is too short to stuff like that. I need my tools (renoise, miniAudicle and transcribe! for instance) to work, I am willing to invest an reasonable amount of time in getting there, but I was getting nowhere. Basically in my experience, a rt configured (limits.conf + user in audio group) ubuntu with all the bells and whistles (gnome, compiz, tons of deamons) performs just as well in real time as the bare bone arch.
