Hi,

I've build linux-3.0-rt6 for my ARM platform (XCEP). Running cycletest 
on vanilla, preempt and rt6 kernel build reviles the following results. 
I would expect better rt6 performance.

Note that last test actually looks quite promising, but it happened once 
in 5 test runs :(

Hi,

I've build linux-3.0-rt6 for AM3517 and run the cyclic test with the following commands

./hackbench -P -l -1 -g 10  &
./cyclictest -t1 -p80 -n -h 400

Mike Galbraith pointed me into the right direction with the heads up 
about the ksoftirqd/0 process that hogged the CPU for a short moment, 
enough to make cycletest 'Max' column numbers high.

Reading some googled results about the ksoftirqd made me suspicious 
about the network traffic 
-http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/quagga/dev/17725

Since I'm running my board of the NFS rootfs I opted for using -q switch 
with the cycletest. The result was 5/5 test runs with best 'Max' column :)
