The RT threads then each acquire SCHED_FIFO. I mean, instead of trying to lower the priority of the main process, assign it SCHED_RR? That way it would always get executed before any regular process, but still it wouldn't stop the real high-prio SCHED_FIFO process from running most of the time. Or fiddle something with the realtime priorities... > In all released version of PA hrtimers are not really that > important.

Yes, that one is actually set in my config, but guess, I am running amd64... That explains the lot. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
