Hyperthreading was enabled, so this was an SMP config with 2 CPUs. Use a fixed width font to make it readable. See you all next major 3 point kernel release. Comparison of 2.6.35 v 2.6.35-ck1 on a pentium 4HT with 1GB ram. Note the significantly higher number of deadlines met on ck1, and when deadlines are not met, the worst case latencies are mostly better. These are the two most important parameters to compare. Asterisk placed where values are significantly better. >= 5% or 5ms is considered significant.
