I've been working with the 2.6 series kernel now for some time with satisfactory
results ie (about 24 msec of latency and solid stability). I chose the 2.6
series because its the latest, and I wouldn't have to patch as much to get
support for my hardware (firewire alsa realtime etc...). But I've been reading
more and more about how the 2.4 kernels can outperform 2.6 when patched properly,
any truth to this?
