Default Buffering: Worker Thread Scheduling

Hi All, hope you're all doing well.

I am not sure if this is a bug, but here goes:

Has anyone found that v5.x Worker Thread Scheduling (as part of Reaper's buffering function) is causing timing slips? I have been working on a number of pieces that have tight and precise rhythms and finding that the percussion has little moments of slipping out of time, especially when there is a lot of PDC being used. I am using strictly quantised note data, so it's not a matter of misperceiving humanised 'looseness'. All other buffering settings are set at their defaults.

When I change the settings to check "Use old v4.x worker thread scheduling" -bang- the timing problems go away. The tip states that this check could be 'advantageous in certain circumstances', so I'm wondering what those circumstances could be. Perhaps it relates to PDC and specific poorly coded plugins? Or is the v5.x buffering buggy?

Please let me know if more information is required to make sense.

Cheers.
