with --sync, jack2 behaves the same way as jack1 in the way of
scheduling the clients (no parallel graphs, but one block less
processing delay).

The --sync is important when extreme low delay processing matters -
without the flag, jack2 uses three buffers even when set to two.

This was recently discussed on the jack-dev list ("What about the number
of buffers?").
