Couple of things: The OP already increased the buffer size (therefore latency) to what I'd regard as almost an excessive figure for a laptop with the spec it's running on, so whatever it was or is, I don't think that was it. Unfortunately we haven't heard back, so we don't know whether this has actually been resolved or not. An additional issue of course is that the present release is awaiting a patch, which will improve its performance significantly - hopefully that will be arriving soon, and it could affect all sorts of areas of operation.
An automated buffer optimising system is an interesting idea. Snaps and crackles only occur when the buffer hits 'full', and I would have thought that monitoring this and increasing the size of it incrementally wouldn't be impossible at all - so potentially at least it could be done, and without AI! Most people would probably want a manual over-ride for it though, as one of the slight snags is that the amount of buffer necessary will vary with the amount of audio fed to it. A relatively small buffer will handle a stereo stream fine, but the whole arrangement becomes more complex with a large multi-track session, and you wouldn't necessarily want the size jumping up and down all the time...
