I built 3.19.3 kernels on Debian from kernel.org, they play the video fluidly, so it's not Canonical's patches making it work. But it may actually be okay on CentOS. Shortly after I posted the last post I started getting lag to everywhere so bad that there were 2-3 second delays in my keyboard echos. Comcast has occasional problems where I am (my servers are all in a co-location facility with good connectivity but I'm working out of my home with Comcast cable) and occasionally it gets laggy and drops packets. Usually between
8pm-10pm not in the afternoon but I guess today is special.  So I will test
again after the lag clears up.

You're not alone, this stuff happens to me too... More often than I'd like.


     Thank you for your help.  The 3.19.3 kernel I built is not only
preemptive but also stripped of most of the stuff I don't use.  I also
turn off most of the kernel hacking and profiling stuff since it adds
a tiny bit of overhead.

     It helped considerably over either the stock kernel or the one
off of
el repo (the el repo 3.19.3-ml kernel), however the video isn't 100%
fluid.

     With the el repo kernel I got around maybe 10 frames per second,
with
my custom kernel I get around 30 frames per second most of the time
but there
are occasional glitches where the video will freeze for maybe a third
of a
second.

     Under Ubuntu, a kernel built the same way, the video is fluid.
There
must be something in CentOS eating more resources.

I wouldn't be sure about the "eating more resources" part. Unless
something spikes in top/htop, maybe. But given you've tried with a rt
kernel as provided by Ubuntu, there are multiple other things to consider:

 - the Ubuntu kernel was patched by Canonical (most of the time quite
heavily when comparing a vanilla kernel to a stock Ubuntu kernel)
 - the Ubuntu kernel may *additionally* include other RT patches that
are neither part of their stock, nor the vanilla kernel
 - it may use different options from what you have

There's a good chance this influences what you're seeing.

If you really want to find out what leads to this differing behavior,
you're in for a ride (and quite possibly a rather frustrating one, too.)
