I would be good to see real numbers associated with claims like the
above; also how it is measured..
Cyclictest is widely used for measuring latencies:
https://rt.wiki.kernel.org/articles/c/y/c/Cyclictest.html
Also, indicate those various kernel patches and or options they use
or
have tested.
The rt patches for the latest kernels (3.2 at this point) are here:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/3.2/
This is pretty much all I add to the rt patched kernels for Fedora (with
the proper configuration options, of course, I'm attaching the extra
options I'm currently using). To get the best performance in the Jack
world you need to tune the irq kernel thread priorities, that is usually
done using rtirq (
http://www.rncbc.org/jack/#rtirq), and of course jackd
should run with the proper rt priority as well.
