For serious work (recording e.g.) I .) close as many other apps as possible .) close as many windows and tabs as possible .) don’t do any polling, tracing or other posting of intermediate results .) avoid or reduce MIDI to a minimum .) avoid scoping .) go offline .) don’t move any windows This might sound a bit funny partially, but believe me, it is a…

And yes, if a latency of 0.5 is necessary, this indicates something really unusual. But without a minimal reproducable code example it’s hard to find.
