In the Sonar forum ppl are on a lowdown on this issue:

thread: http://www.cakewalk.com/forum/tm.asp?m=130201

article: http://www.djkepi.com/latency/

That is - recorded audio is either behind or ahead of tempo.

As far as I have understood - this is not an issue with SAW? Right?

RIGHT!! Perfect Syncronicity!

Another example of someone with no engineering qualifications with a little bit of knowledge that makes them dangerous.
The article is a hotchpotch of a test without quantifying respective measurements for latency, jitter and quantisation error. Sample accuracy recording (timing thereoff) has as much to do with convertor hardware performance and hardware drivers and is not a just a function of the application. It is system specific not application/client absolute.
If he had set up his 3.0Ghz P4 without hyperthreading activated he would get better all round performance.
If anyone is confused on this issue, hyperthreading serves no benefit under clock speeds of 3.5GHz based on the current pentium 4 fabrication processes. In most cases your system performance will decrease and WILL certainly decrease on the (current) Prescott architecture due to thermal restrictive lattice boundary degradation in that part of the die where the hyperthreaded pipeline is etched.
