| |
Just to follow up, I compiled 2.4.16 with the low latency patch from Andrew Morton, as well as the 2.4.16-disk-i/o-responsiveness patch from Andrew, and tux-full-2.4.16-A3.
I hammered tux all night with an apachebench script, and it never hiccupped. So, while tux and preempt don't play well together, tux and low-latency seem to get along just fine.
Regards,
