That is exactly what I'm seeing too. Rock solid performance. I can run with a smaller buffer and fewer periods, but 128 and 4 makes it bulletproof. I like to run a LOT more stuff than just REAPER when I'm composing.

I'm currently using Linux Mint XFCE version but I wonder if I should've just gone with Xubuntu like you. I can't see much difference between the two (both XFCE) except maybe the odd utility that's not installed by default in Xubuntu, and also that Xubuntu is more up-to-date with some packages (although I did just add the latest kernel to Mint and it seems fine).
When I get my new AMD stuff I'll probably switch to Xubuntu.

I originally chose Xubuntu for another machine with another purpose due to it's light system demands and xfce desktop. It did so well on an older lower powered Core 2 Duo that I thought why not use it on my more powerful i5 DAW machine. It's very agile on faster hardware.
