[linux-audio-user] Laptop tuning

Hi folks, I am trying to make my 2 year old laptop fit for live-usage. Currently I am stuck at the 50ms latency border... I am using kernel 2.6.3-gentoo-r1, have preemption enabled and run jackd and every accessing app as root. I spent a day tuning my hd but there is no speed improvment so far. When I try to run jackd with less than 50ms latency sound is garbled and broken... I am using the builtin maestro3 for audio and an Edirol UM-2 for MIDI. Which other things did I miss? Where is room for speed improvements? Thanks in advance, Arnold -- Get my public-key from pgp.mit.edu or pgp.uni-mainz.de --- Hi, I am a .signature virus.
