What about adding a call to jack_cpu_load() in fluid_jack.c, and logging the

Very little difference, if any at all.

I've also tested 1.1.0 in another system right now, with very similar results. 
The first test machine is an AMD Athlon XP 2800+ Speed: 2 GHz
The second test machine is an Intel Core2Duo T7200 Speed: 2 GHz
