RH9 and FC1 should be equivalent, on Planet CCRMA both use the same
kernel (which I believe is the most important piece of the puzzle -
followed by configuration).

If the audio software uses all the cpu you will get tons of xruns, jack
will be very unhappy and most probably all clients will be kicjed out of
the graph. There is no way to handle that, IMHO. 

I don't know about the ardour crashes, currently Planet CCRMA is still
at beta19 because the 21 and 22 releases were deemed dangerous by Paul
(ie: "don't release them, wait for the next beta").
