You already know? Then please elaborate, what a 10ms smoother is doing in
a nanosecond resolution scheduler.

Superficially there is no negative impact with Renoise, doom 3, chromium,
on a shaved+low/latency/low jitter kernel, core 2 duo desktop. Chromium
actually got faster. Well it felt faster, and that is what I care about.
You can probably config differently and get more throughput for servers,
but that does not equate to throughput when talking about displayed frames
on screen. So please elaborate what you mean by negative impact.

Peace Be With You.
