I also found
2.6.0-test[123] to be less responsive than 2.4.x-ll, or even
stock 2.4.x. I've also experienced XMMS dropouts under load (for example
compiling Muse)
Some behaviour I've noticed is that under heavy load the desktop/audio
doesn't freeze for a certain block of time, but rather in short (~2
seconds) intervalls...
this should have been imporved significantly in -mm tree.
even reducing the min/max timeslices would help a lot. the default
values look too large for desktop users...
A fairly of topic question: Since 2.6 contains several schedulers; is this
selectable at runtime or is it a compiletime switch ?
Sounds shaky to select at runtime, but infinitely cool :)
