Michael Haberler has guided me through installing xenomai on a computer I have 
here and I wanted to post my results from the latency-test.

Intel Desktop Board D94GCLF2D (purchased from Newegg several years ago).

In Bios- Intel Hyper-Threading Technology- Disabled

Running on Linux Mint Maya - headless over ssh on my network- I don't plan on 
running Axis or any UI on this machine- it will be a linuxcnc server in the 
back cabinet of a VMC running a servo setup (later). This machine just boots to 
console and is accessed via ssh.

Michael instructed me to set 'idle=poll' in /etc/default/grub (then run sudo 
update-grub2) and check the results. I ran latency-test again. At first I 
thought it looked better, but after running it for 5 minutes or so, it gave 
very very similar results:
