i've used kernel 2.4.20 with pe, ll, and some

compiling with gcc version 3.2.3 20030422, and i get the same result
with all of them (as well as without pe or ll).
If the preemption and low-latency patches make no difference then
check `sysctl kernel/lowlatency', which should be set to 1. If not,
then (as root) run `sysctl -w kernel/lowlatency=1'. If that works,
you probably need to add it to some /etc/init.d startup script.
