I was wondering, what settings in features.h gives the least jitter? (I am a real perfectionist) Also what kind of threadpriorities gives the least jitter, particulary with a focus on OpenGL? (Should some kernelthreads be reniced, for instance softirqs etc) And have you given consideration to the fact that most distros and OS grow with some levels of bloat, and everyone can`t be an expert, so maybe one shold consider a (scheduler) queue for "bloat", and one queue for main app, so that even bloated distros can run with the jitteramount of a highly specialized distro? (for instance mainapp,service1,mainapp,service2,mainapp,service3), if bloat is on queue 2. Or is thins kind of thinking already in batch, or idle? -- Fred v?re med deg / Peace Be with You, Ove Karlsen http://www.paradoxuncreated.com -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
