From my view here, low latency provides a more silky feel when e.g. playing RtCW or Q3A - BTW I have checked out 2.4.18pre2-aa2 and am now running 2.4.18-pre3 + mini low latency. * -aa absolutely kicks major booty in benchmarks. * -mini-low-latency seems to do no worse than stock kernel benchmark-wise, but seems to be somehow smoother. I played some mp3s while running dbench 16 and heard no hitches. Also the RtCW test was successful, e.g. movement was fluid and I was victorious in most skirmishes with win32 opponents.
