Can do. Note that "my setup" in that case consisted of browsing around
eBay in firefox with ogg123 playing audio directly to ALSA in an xterm
as the only other thing running. That is, just about as basic a Linux
desktop as imagineable.

Testing Mike's latest will have to wait a bit though; I'm currently
testing the latest incarnation of SD (against 2.6.20.6). For people
who've lost track of what and where, it's available as:

http://ck.kolivas.org/patches/staircase-deadline/2.6.20.5-sd-0.39.patch

and versus 2.6.21-rc5 as:

http://ck.kolivas.org/patches/staircase-deadline/2.6.21-rc5-sd-0.39.patch

For the moment it is giving me a snappy feeling desktop on this Duron
1300, with ogg123 playing in an xterm without audio underruns, with a
make -j2 kernel compile running (not niced) and me browsing around in
firefox.

Mike latest would probably also support this load without much problem.
Given that I feel the basic idea of SD is better than mainline though,
I'll be concentrating on using SD for a bit for now.
