Thanks everyone for helping here. Great stuff to help with the research. 
So I was over at the Gentoo forums and reading some posts there on the 
subject. One fellow (might be on this list - at least he recommended it 
to me) said to another guy, who just complained of xruns while using the 
jack-audio-connection-kit, that it was critical to emerge it with the 
jack-tmpfs flag. I guess you would have to know something of Gentoo for 
that to make sense. But I'm not sure if he was talking about installing 
jack in general or not, because I don't believe I did that. He also said 
this:

"The jack-tmpfs tells it to use the --with-default-tmpdir=/dev/shm 
compile option. Gentoo
sets this filesystem up in the default layout, so it should be there..."

So hopefully I can figure out how to set the tmpdir to use this tmpfs, 
providing it is there.I'm in my dual boot Suse system right now so can't 
check - suppose df -k would show it?

Otherwise, I think I have gentoo set up on Reiser. Lots of space that I 
could shrink down for a new-different partition of whatever file system, 
as long as I can do it without mucking up my overall install.

Any further thoughts welcome..

Thanks, Jim
