It is. I've been running 2.6 on a dual p2 for quite some time, with good results. It is also running with priority 0 under 2.4.

The problem does not seem interactivity, but some clocks which drift apart. The framerate is constantly above 100 fps, there are no background daemons/cron jobs running, remote top doesn't show any unusual activity. For now, after several reboots and switching back and forth between 2.6 and 2.4 it seems to be gone under 2.6. I'll see if it comes back again. I guess a 'vmstat 1` snapshot would be good in this case?
Thanks,
Jan
