[PlanetCCRMA] Question about jack. Possibly a question for Fernando

Hello everyone.  I have been having some great fun with the low latencies using qjackctl, sooperlooper, audacity, a dunlop crybaby wah-wah pedal, and a seymour duncan tweakfuzz pedal.  Anyways, my question is about jack and more specifically, jackdmp.  I recently compiled and installed jackdmp from a subversion link provided on the official jack page.  I read that the jackdmp installation 'replaces' files in the existing qjackctl and is made to operate better with multi-core CPUs.  I use an Intel Quad Core @ 2.4GHz x 4 so this would be good for me.  Is there a way I can make sure that I have installed this properly?   
Fernando.  I think saw that you were on the contributors list as making jackdmp compatible with fedora 13.  That's what I put your name in the subject.  :)  Also, I was wondering if there was a site where people post the latencies they are able to achieve using jack.  I think it would be interesting to see how people achieve very low-latencies and what those latencies are.
