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?
no truth. its an old data point, no longer valid. that is, assuming we
are talking about RT-patched 2.6 vs. RT-patched 2.4. if you mean vanilla
2.6 vs. RT-patched 2.4, the latter is still better.
