Hi All:
As I read it, the low latency kernel patch(es) only apply to kernel 2.4,
and with kernel 2.6 the only option for
improving latency is kernel pre-emption.
Have I got this much right?
If so, is it better to use a patched 2.4 kernel than a 2.6 kernel with
pre-emption?
TIA, Mick
Hi Mick,
Which is better will probably get some discussion, but from a
practical point of view I'd say that if your distro uses a 2.6 kernel
then you should stick with 2.6. There are probably too many library
issues and other things beyond my limited knowledge that will bite
you.
I think that most people running a 2.6-ll type kernel will tell you
it works pretty well most of the time. ;-)
Cheers,
Mark
