You're very kind! Here you go: This is from "Linux uclibc 2.6.14.2 #12 PREEMPT" without -rt: 100 revs; min: 19888 max: 20386 avg: 20013 100 revs; min: 19724 max: 20296 avg: 20013 100 revs; min: 19920 max: 20322 avg: 20013 100 revs; min: 19840 max: 20323 avg: 20016 100 revs; min: 10276 max: 42789 avg: 21294 100 revs; min: 10466 max: 34080 avg: 21687 100 revs; min: 10249 max: 30594 avg: 21161 100 revs; min: 10962 max: 34421 avg: 21415 100 revs; min: 10437 max: 31338 avg: 20562 100 revs; min: 11660 max: 29751 avg: 21066 100 revs; min: 10457 max: 30612 avg: 21417 100 revs; min: 10270 max: 37828 avg: 21513 First four lines are with the system otherwise idle. Then I fired 'ls -Rl /mnt/some/nfs/share' on a framebuffer console. And the same on a "Linux uclibc 2.6.18-rt6 #19 PREEMPT": 100 revs; min: 19847 max: 20242 avg: 20014 100 revs; min: 19685 max: 20332 avg: 20014 100 revs; min: 19652 max: 20374 avg: 20014 100 revs; min: 19622 max: 20399 avg: 20012 100 revs; min: 19736 max: 26612 avg: 20074 100 revs; min: 19478 max: 21199 avg: 20021 100 revs; min: 19569 max: 21093 avg: 20022 100 revs; min: 19582 max: 20460 avg: 20017 100 revs; min: 19723 max: 20410 avg: 20016 100 revs; min: 19459 max: 24565 avg: 20056 100 revs; min: 19610 max: 24257 avg: 20053 100 revs; min: 19376 max: 26848 avg: 20079 100 revs; min: 19445 max: 26522 avg: 20077 100 revs; min: 19510 max: 22349 avg: 20034 100 revs; min: 19562 max: 20334 avg: 20017 The one to be blamed the most seems to be FB. 'ls ... > /dev/null' leads to less than 2ms slips. I'm supposed to make a 10ms control loop, so I could live with a couple of ms jitter. 7ms is rather high and I think it tells about some problem which makes one wonder if even higher occasional slips are possible.
