I bought a Roland D50 and connected it to my PC via a midi-usb adapter.
After many clicks finally I managed to have some sound come out of the PC
when I played the D50's keyboard. However, when I used a host (Minihost,
which has only 361Kb!...) to be able to take advantage of VST instruments, I
came to the sad conclusion that there's a delay between the pressing of the
key and the hearing of the sound!... This makes it virtually impossible to
play anything properly. I then used V-Stack instead and the result was even
worse, the delay increased by around 2 seconds!
Is there a way to prevent and avoid this annoying situation?
My PC is a Pentium IV 1.5 with 512Mb RAM.

You need a VST host that supports ASIO, like Minihost.
download the ASIO4ALL driver from http://www.asio4all.com/
As it stands your latency (the time for audio processing) is probably about 500 ms.
With a 1.5 ghz pentium and only 512MB of RAM, ASIO4ALL will get your latency down close to 20ms which is acceptable.
More RAM and/or a faster processor will get you under 10ms, which is not noticeable.
