Actually after a reboot and some more tweakings, things have been
running without a xrun for an hour now, even with periods/buffer=2.
So finally, i'll stay with planet ccrma ;)
You might want to try the 2.6.22.x based kernel for f8 as stated
somewhere else in the thread. In my experience it has better performance
latency-wise.
What other tweakings did you do?
Ok finally, i tried to disable the second core ( i have a dual core
2GHz) and things get really better this way, i can lauch more
applications with 4,8ms latency and no xruns. I had already disabled
cpuspeed but it looks like it was not enough.
