where did you get that piece of information?

the lowest latency i was ever able to get with Pd at 44.1kHz was with
RME Hammerfall and OSS(!) drivers: 4.8ms measured(!) between soundcard
input and soundcard output, and that at a load of 80% or so.

(i don't fully trust in the numbers that you can fill into the various
forms, regardless of Pd, jack, or whatever; the only way to get yuor
latency is to measure it).

the main problem with OSS is, that it is simply not available anymore on
recent debian/ubuntu/... distros.
