Has anyone tried audio work with 2.6 and preempt *off*?  I've been using
2.6 some, with preempt on and I'm seeing exactly the same kind of
behaviour as the original email in the thread reports - compiles take
twice as long and disk latency kills interactivity whenever something
loads a program/file.  I basically went back to 2.4+lowlatency for audio
work, but I wonder if anyone's tried 2.6 without preempt?
