The mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] was set up to discuss this topic.
See www.realtimelinux.org for info about joining. The mailing list archive
records the discussion to date. Documentation and a test suite will appear over
the next few months.
In summary, RTL performance depends heavily on the hardware you are running it
on, and on PCI bus loading. Some initial recommendations for optimum
performance, assuming a PC platform:
(a) Avoid the ISA bus like the plague.
(b) Use only PCI 2.1 or (better) 2.2 devices. This applies to the motherboard
chipset and any PCI peripheral cards.
(c) Use AGP graphics, not PCI (unless you use AGP for e.g. fast networking in
which case tell us about it).
(d) Use Pentium class processors, preferably P6 class or later, for the
on-chip L2 cache (P6) and other enhancements.
