[arch-general] Time delay problem with latest [core] kernel

[XeCycle]

Hi, I'm using the latest kernel from [core] (linux 3.1-4), and
experienced a terrible delay of software MIDI synthesizers.

I'm using fluidsynth, using ALSA as the output driver (I simply can't
get jack working), and VMPK as a keyboard MIDI event generator.  The
delay used to be fine, but with the latest kernel, it's longer than 0.5
secs --- that's unusable.  I believe this should be kernel-related,
could you please suggest some solutions or workarounds?
