It does wonders! I tried the cyclictest mentioned by Rui and I got some quite outstanding numbers on my system. (However, the liquorix kernel is not PAE, which prevents the use of more than 4GB RAM for 32bit systems with more than 4GB of physical RAM) J. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
