I very much doubt that.

The top-level application might be reporting < 50% (if it isn't querying 
Jack often enough).  And I think you've made a very good case for that.  
But you haven't produced any evidence to suggest that Jack itself is 
missing the xruns.  What's needed is to make sure that the app will 
notice them if they occur (in between update calls).  Removing the 
averaging isn't the way to achieve that.  I know that's what you've done 
in the PortAudio backend - but it's not the right approach.
