On the jack site, under documentation, there's some links to
academic papers regarding jack2. You may also find some on
the wiki.
Long story short:
If you're running ONE Jack app -- no difference.
If you're running multiple Jack apps with somewhat
independent audio chains -- you can get parallel
processing between the the applications. To take advantage
of all 4 cores you would need to be running four apps (e.g.
Ardour + Hydrogen + a synth + another synth).
Strictly speaking, this has nothing to do with plugins.
Plugins happen inside the application and Jack has nothing
to do with them.
