Here are some results. [snip] Oh wow. Very interesting - it appears that my performance problems are almost certainly due to something else. It seems evident to me that preempt does in general make the situation better in 2.6, though Andrea and others have argued it's not the best approach. I'm loading the DRI modules - I'll have to try again without those. (well, once my network card starts working in 2.6 again) I'll try some without preemption (compiled a kernel for it last night), but it looks like I'm barking up the wrong tree. -- Ross Vandegrift ross@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx A Pope has a Water Cannon.
