I've been testing various kernels lately with Mdk10.1 and sofar there is
minimal inpact on the services of the system as far as I can tell.
I've yet to be able to achieve the _really_ good performances that are talked
about here though. Sometimes it's reasonable though not perfect, other times
it's not good at all. Probably I need to harden my system with respect to
irq's or whatever. Florian had a page up somewhere if I understood correctly?

A question here about Mdk 10.1 {a tad OT}...
I'm under the impression that there are issues preventing the use of
newer 2.6 kernels with 10.1 because they break stuff. It seems not as
you are using this kernel.
I don't have the time or really the skillset to build kernels
efficiently and I rely heavily on Thac's RPM's for my production box.
But I'm faced with a bit of a mild dilemna; Thac is not supporting the
10.0 RPMs and there have been many upgrades. But I cannot seem to get
the 2.6.7 mm.7 kernels to boot on my test box running 10.1 official. And
If I cant have a RT kernel to use, my production box is gathering
cobwebs. I don't need zero Xruns at 32x2. I just need reliable RT
performance with modest latency...I mean damn...I can go mess with my
Winblows machine to remember what latency blessings we have in Linux
audio! :) And I can always just hide the Qjackctl window; I'm convinced
that sometimes just seeing the "Xrun monitor" numbers turn red causes
some folks to tip the box over and start again with a fresh reinstall!
If I'm prepared to wear my sox 2 days in a row then I can live with some
red numbers. :) Dropouts are unacceptable not Xruns. Here are my results running vanilla 2.6.10. They
support your
conclusion, but also the idea that the vanilla kernel is really quite
usable.
Not sure what system statistics we should collect for this. My system
is Debian woody with 2.6.10 and realtime-lsm on an Athlon 1800+ XP
with 256MB main memory and M-Audio Delta-66 sound card.
Something worth telling, in deed: my laptop's Mandrake 10.1
