Yes, it looks like those changes have caused a major tradeoff problem.  I'm
only assuming (from names & comments in the code) that the canvas updates
were originally designed to happen every 1/100th of a second - but after
those changes, the canvas is now only able to update every 1/5th of a second
(in that particular mode, anyway).

If you mean the readings at the top of Ardour, my 'c' reading is permanently
99%, my 'p' reading varies between 73% and 95% and my DSP reading is around
4%.  These are pretty much the same as they've always been.
