So how is it that a machine with a fast multicore processor is delaying my

Its really irritating as if you monitor yourself talking using phones the
recording sounds like I'm drunk on the windows 7 machine. is there a way
around this?

If you are using an ASIO audio driver you can specify the number of
bits of latency assigned to the card. It's like buffering - the more
bits the less chance of a stutter. Just about any machine these days
should be able to deal with 10 milliseconds without trouble. That
should not give the nasty effect you describe.
