It might be a good idea to post what hardware/software your using for ease in helping you out.

As Matt states....midi is no resource hog.

My guess: check your midi input & output buffers settings.
Those settings should be accessible within your interface somewhere.

My settings: 64ms for recording and 250ms for playback.
Note: these were default settings in Sonar X3 and I really can't remember the last time I actually had a problem with midi and had to putz with any buffer settings.

Again....maybe post your computer specs/peripherals so people that know more than me can chime in.....there's a few midi gurus here.
Mountainside/Noel/and rockstar_not/Notes_Norton to name a few if my memory serves me correctly.

I do hope that helps a bit....carry on.
