Yes I think I mentioned before this is a different machine than the pentiumM one. It's a P4HT3.06 with on board i810 sound and ext3 (which explains the vastly different DSP usage). The only "special" measure taken for jackd was to use the latest jackd code and the tmpfs mount you suggested. Looks like the number of steps to convert a modern "standard setup" desktop to a low latency one on linux aren't that big after all :)
