I am a long time MIDI user (since the ATARI ST) so I've read a lot about MIDI and stuff.
MIDI is basically a serial interface, meaning that the information is sent in row one bit after the other (so not in parallel) and this in some older machines means lots of information to process in a short time, especially when dealing with high definition sequencers.
Well I partially solved my sync troubles lowering the definition of MIDI messages from 960 to 480 ticks per quarter notes within the sequencer.
I hope this post will be useful to you all experiencing my problem.
Cheers!

the bottleneck is usually the interface, not the synth. but in general you're right. less traffic also means a lower chance of a traffic jam...
