none of these are low latency applications.
Fileservering for audio playback/recording is (the only really big FS I
have in my studio is on an NFS server), and audio rendering clusters are a
reasonable requirement, though maybe not over generic ethernet based IP.
totally agreed. when i said "none of these", i meant the ones listed
above. you can do significant buffering in those cases. you don't need
sub-msec scheduler latencies to handle them.
