This is my experience, too, comparing a 2.4 with low latency patches
to an unpatched 2.6 kernel.

To be fair, the unpatched 2.6 is a *lot* better than an unpatched 2.4,
enough better to actually be usable for many purposes, but not good
enough for serious low-latency audio.

This is definitely needed, IMHO.
