I don't think portaudio is that great for realtime work, although I
think this is bordering on worst-case (compared to other apps).
I've a feeling the problem might lie in the buffer size used for
passing audio to portaudio.
And I've just noticed that Pd uses the PABLIO (blocking I/O)
interface to Portaudio. This might be part of the problem as it
certainly isn't designed fo low-latency work.

Another thing to try is Miller's new "callback" support. Its a
checkbox in the audio settings.
About this, I don't think anyone really thinks its good as it is, its
just a matter of someone doing the work to improve it. The Jack
support in Pd does seem to get a lot more work on it, so that's
probably also a good reason why it works better.
