ASIO4ALL - Buffer size vs. Kernel Buffer amount - What's more stable?

It seems increasing the kernel buffer amount just increases output latency, but does it do more than that?

I'm just trying to achieve the best possible latency with my setup. So far it's 4ms overall, but I still run into glitches.

Any reason you are not using the ASIO drivers that came with your audio interface?
They are likely to give you better, more reliable results than ASIO4ALL, unless you have a really poor interface.

I have a laptop with Win 7 64bit, 8gig ddr3 memory, and a i3-330m processor. I have a Focusrite Scarlett 8i6, and with the drivers I can work well with <12ms overall, but figured if I can get away with lower latency, why not?
