Fellow PLUGgers, Clark Williams of RedHat did some studies on the low-latency patches and the preemption patches, to see which of the two did most to help with the kernel's scheduler latency. And the result? (drumroll) Both. :)
<http://www.linuxdevices.com/articles/AT8906594941.html> It's also has a pretty neat overview about what latency is, and why there's all this fuss about tweaking this bit of the kernel. :) I think both Ingo's O(1) and RML's Preemption patch are in kernel 2.5. I'm not sure, though. Anyway, let's see what the next "stable" tree will get us. I hope we won't have to keep our breaths held for too long. ;> --> Jijo -- Federico Sevilla III :: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Network Administrator :: The Leather Collection, Inc.
