Jack works really well with the xine phonon backend at least. Nepomuk (file
indexing) is probably the main offender for cpu/memory consumption, You can
turn this off or limit it. Personally I let it run everywhere but where I
keep my git/subversion repos.
PulseAudio is optional but I am finding that this is actually working quite
well for me.
(I have to run pulseaudio --kill after starting jack)
