The objective is to get the CPU use as low as possible. If CPU use
is at 80%-100% this could be why you are having skips in the
recording. It should not be at 80% if you have closed most
programs.
The CPU column in Task Manager should say what program is using
all that CPU.
You can also read these tips for preventing skips:
http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Managing_Computer_Resources_and_Drivers .
The "Latency correction" setting in Audacity has nothing to do
with skips. That correction just moves a track leftwards after
recording, if you were making an overdub recording.
If you are having skips when recording, it is possible that increasing
the "Audio to buffer" setting may help, but you should read all the
tips in the link above as well.
