Heya I see jitter is a focus on the RT patch.
I was wondering, what settings in features.h gives the least jitter? (I=
=20
am a real perfectionist)
Also what kind of threadpriorities gives the least jitter, particulary=20
with a focus on OpenGL? (Should some kernelthreads be reniced, for=20
instance softirqs etc)
And have you given consideration to the fact that most distros and OS=20
grow with some levels of bloat, and everyone can`t be an expert, so=20
maybe one shold consider a (scheduler) queue for "bloat", and one queue=
=20
for main app, so that even bloated distros can run with the jitteramoun=
t=20
of a highly specialized distro? (for instance=20
mainapp,service1,mainapp,service2,mainapp,service3), if bloat is on=20
queue 2. Or is thins kind of thinking already in batch, or idle?
