That doesn't bode well for a speedy wintel buster version of linuxcnc. Personally I am extremely pleased with an armbian armhf version of buster 10.1 installed on the rpi4, running that big lathe very well with zero latency overshoots. realtime video now and motors run much smoother & quieter than before. I have no clue how the kernel I'm using would rebuild on wintel hardware but its sure running sweet on the rpi4. Point being its already patched, so it could be downloaded from me, unpacked, a make clean and a make amd64 should get you something to try. Its 4.19.71-rt24-v7l+.tar.bz2 on my site. Have at it. I'd done 2 debian buster installs but at the end found them to be arm64, and fragile, so I knew latency would be worse than with armhf. armhf stability is rock solid so far, 13 days of uptime and its been busy.
