Considerable delay working with emacs vs. sonic pi

Hi,
this is might rather be a question then an issue. Maybe it's due to my setup but while working with sonic-pi.el I encounter a considerable delay even with simple commands like play :c compared to working directly within Sonic Pi. 'Considerable' means something like a second before I hear the sound after evaluating the code. Any ideas why this is the case?

This is a too bad because I like working from within Emacs a lot and am very grateful for the good work you did!

I am working with Emacs 24.3.1 on Debian Jessie.
Regards
Martin

Odd, both Sonicpi and Emacs are sending osc messages to a ruby server. My only thought would be Emacs is taking longer encoding the messages, I'm unsure of c++ vs emacs lisp performance. Both are using udp.

I'll play around and see if there is any options for faster performance. I've not noticed it being slow on my machine.

Joseph, sorry I did not update this issue. It's gone two plattforms I work with. Actually Sonic Pi does perform better with Emacs compared to the native GUI. And editing is much more what I am used to. So I will close this issue because I do can not reproduce the issue anymore. Thanks for replying.
