The buffers are set in the DSP options of the application itself. They 
remained the same.

Could the driver itself change the CPU load? Would that affect latency? 
(I.e., a poorly written driver vs. a well written driver could make a 
difference?)

dude. Flattery will get you everywhere with me! :-)
