Typing in the console:
man jackd
will help you identify the nature of some of the command line options

for jack, as well as give you some clues for matching them to the tabs

within QjackCTL.
I'm no expert, and all I've ever tried for getting the best (lowest)

latency is by experimenting with seeing how low I can go with the

Frames/Period setting in QjackCTL which is the -p or --period setting

on the command line. If it works and no x-runs occur, then...

...it works :-)
A method of identifying which command line option to Jack relates to

which setting in QjackCTL is by changing a setting in qjackctl and

stop/starting Jack through qjackCTL while watching the messages log.
