Is this a laptop? You may have no control over it then since
everything is hardwired inside the laptop. Possibly try make sure you
are using no other USB devices when using the HDSP for best
performance.
ok. not even mouse/usb-midi interface? would not be tragic, but could be slightly annoying. its a laptop, yes, so probably no real chance of changing a great deal there.

So does this Multiface run on a RME 1394 interface or something else?
I'm familiar with how they work off of a PCI card in a desktop. In a
laptop I'm not so sure. Is it using a card plugged iinto the cardbus
slot and hence behind the yenta bridge?
yes, into this yenta socket, using the rme cardbus.

and we can look at the way the devices are positioned in the PCI hierarchy.
now you are loosing me ;)
That's getting a bit involved though.
