I just learned something that I thought I would share with you all - I don't know if it useful in solving SFP problems. Maybe this is something you all know about, but I guess its better to hear it twice than not at all.
A friend of mine upgraded Cubase SX to 1.02 and that caused severe timing problems. It turns out the Cubase application process wasn't started with the correct priority (it was Normal instead of High). Using the Task Manager we changed the priority and suddenly it was back to super timing - we stressed the machine to use all CPU without any timing problems whatsoever in Cubase SX.
When I went back to my own system I saw that the SFP process was also running at Normal priority. Now, I don't have any current issues with performance, so I can't really tell if it makes a difference. But I though that anyone that might have problems with timing, latency or whatever (especially in conjunction with other activities on the machine) might just want to try raising the priority.
Just thought I would mention that.
