That is not a valid test. If the soft instrument that generates

these sounds aligns MIDI events to Jack periods, and you are using

a period size of 1024 as you say you are, it proves nothing at all.
Apart from that, it remains to be seen if *real* timing errors of

+/- 2 ms do 'destroy the groove'. To test this, make the same

recording 
- without jitter,

- with 1 ms jitter,

- with 2 ms jitter,

- with 3 ms jitter.
and check if listeners are able to identify which is which,

or at least to put them into order.
What you have been doing so far is compare an 'exact' version

with one that has some unkown and uncontrolled errors. You could

'prove' anything you want in that way.
You are just jumping to conclusions and making gratituous

generalisations.
