Also keep in mind that by its very nature, -rt is more sensible to bad coding and bad application design. Some applications that perform well in mainstream linux may present bugs in -rt (those bugs exist in the code but are more prone to show uo in -rt). People here have been working most of time focused on determinism. Eventually it comes with a performance enhancement bonus. Sometimes not. Luis -- [ Luis Claudio R.
