If a better response time from the kernel is something that's Good, why isn't lowlatency kernels a default in Linux distros (well, at least in Linux Mint and Fedora) If it is So Good, what are the arguments for not having a lowlatency kernel by default ?

latency and bandwidth are opposing goals. server oriented (compute-based or storage-based) systems want to have the highest possible bandwidth, not the lowest latency. generally, at least.
