Well, interrupt performance is just one thing. The whole real-time
behaviour depends on the underlying OS. And frankly, what we've seen
so far means that PREEMPT_RT can deliver "probabilistic" real-time at
best. Take a test case that has been running fine and just put it
into a new environment (like attach it to a different network), and
it will behave differently. Just plug in a new USB device that hasn't
been tested before, and nobody can tell what will happen.
If it comes to hard, reliable real-time behaviour, we recommend
Xenomai/ipipe to all our customers. However, there are some who think
it is important to have an "original, unpatched" kernel.org source
tree. These obviously run for PREEMPT_RT, and SOLO.
