[linux-audio-dev] disk latency under 2.4.19 ll+preempt

I'm running the low latency and preemption kernel patches on 2.4.19. I'm
getting disk copy latency of around 10ms. Since I'm a real time person
(according to M. Goggins) who doesn't use the hd in real time, I can
live with this, but it bugs me. I've tried ext2 and ext3, no difference.
Any other tips?
