Use the Config, durk. By default, Milky uses these compatible sound settings so that it will work out of the box everywhere. This means using the slow WaveOut driver with a generous buffer setting on Windows. In Config > I/O, try changing your sound driver to DirectSound and reducing the buffer size until you get a better response time but don't go too low so that the sound starts crackling.
To further improve the response time on your setup would be using the ASIO driver which allows using even smaller buffer. On a faster machine the difference might not be that big but here this can help. You either need your sound card to support ASIO or if it doesn't (integrated sound chips, SoundBlaster cards..), you can download and install ASIO4ALL to emulate it. After installation, you should be able to select the ASIO driver in Milky.
