Couldn't make the video work until I swapped monitors. I don't know what 
the rest of you think about HDMI, but I for one am damned sick and tired 
of how picky it can be, failing totally without even dotting an I in a 
log someplace to give us a clue why its failed.

Any way, some latency-test figures, using a servo thread only 1000000 
period. With isolcpus=2,,3, about 46 microseconds, Using isolcpus=3, 
about 26 microseconds. Firing up glxgears runs it up to about 80 u-secs 
when pulled out to about 3/4 of a 1920x1080 screen.  Beyond that size it 
does slow some by doing what looks like a skip frame, doing about 37 fps
killing that and firing off the chromium & reading some news runs it to 
about 185 u-secs, but chromium has to set a new record for 
ssslllooowww...  Installed FF-ESR and it peaked at about 190 u-secs.  
And ran noticeably faster playing a news story.

Thats so much better than the pi3 could do that its not worth the effort 
to try and measure.  So tomorrow I swap the AOC monitor for an ONN in 
the same bracket, same size.  And I left linuxcnc-2.8.0 running just to 
see if it logs any overruns overnight. It hasn't yet.
