    Right, I did not think of these. I just meant that you would not
    typically run Gnutella on a DAW. This should never interfere with audio
    latency, as Gnutella is running at normal priority and JACK is running
    SCHED_FIFO.

    Besides, it looks like there is a real problem with the route cache
    flushing. I ran the same test with no significant network traffic and I
    am still seeing spikes in latency. There are all of 5 entries in the
    route cache.
