Tuning or changing your audio device could reduce latency to less than 5 ms."  I have the latest driver (Focusrite Control 3.6.0), the framesize is 2 ms and the maximum network packet rate is 400 Pkt/s. 

I see that this latency is considered "Average" as opposed to Excellent or Poor.  Is this just JK's way of advising me that I have a low end audio adapter (which is otherwise working adequately for my needs) or is there a problem here that should be addressed?

Latency can be improved by increasing your sample rate to 96000 (especially with Focusrite interfaces), reducing your buffer size to 16 or as low as possible, and setting your frame size to 1 if you can do it without causing problems.

Thanks for the suggestion.  If I change these settings through the ASIO Panel, it immediate resets the buffer size back from 16 (or 32) to 192 when I start a session, and also displays a warning that the device is unstable.  The change only resulted in the latency dropping to 7.5 ms.  Is there a different place in the interface where I should be making these changes?
