[MUNCH] > Kernel 2.4.20-ck2 (almost: it's a 2.4.20 vanilla with Con Koliva's lowlatency, > preemtpible and arcangeli's VM patches) This combination does not include the capabilities patch (AFAIK). The capabilities patch does not affect the latency, only the ability to run applications with realtime priority as a non-root user (using jackstart or givertcap, for example). -- Fernando
