diagnostic tools to trace the reason xruns are happening?

[Mike Holstein]

i'll top post and say again, with my presonus firepod in 10.04 with
-realtime kernel i can do under 5ms latency stable, and depending on what im
doing (if its not too intensive) i can do 1.2ms stable. stable for me is
*no* xruns (except maybe when opening an application, but never idle xruns
popping up).

bart,

let me know if you would like more information on my hardware/software
setup. i thought it was interesting that this is something that had
basically gotten worse for you. seemed like you implied that it was stable,
then not for some reason.
