Fire up Ardour and record 32 channels of audio at the same time set to
<5mS latency using Jack and see if whatever version of the mainline
kernel you are running doesn't have. I've recorded as many as 48
channels @ 48KHz across three hard drives at less than 2mS on my main
recording platform, but that requires rt-sources. I doubt I could do
better than about 25mS with vanilla-sources.
Just my experience,
Mark
