your Jack period size. Given PA's reputation I'd expect more:
1024 samples would mean that PA imposes almost the same RT-
requirements on apps as Jack does, and it was designed *not*
to do that...  But maybe the jack <-> PA interface doesn't
use the same amount of buffering that PA normally adds.

I am no expert either, but, if pa has access to an audio device that jack can get best latency of -p128 and jack is working with a device that can work with -p64... add pa-jack to the mix and jack will only work at -p128 even with a device it could normally work at -p64 with.

Add to that the same -p128 device has problems with the wifi giving xruns forces those xruns across the pa-jack IF. If I turn that device off in pa tha problems go away. Also the amount of CPU time used by PA rises a lot when connected to jack.

Just my personal observations.
