Ingo,
I haven't used any of the RT patches since V0.7.51-xx, but I upgraded to -rt8 yesterday and had a couple of problems. I've just noticed you released -rt9, but I don't think my problem is listed as fixed.. I'll upgrade anyway, in a minute.
The problem I'm having is that when the kernel probes my IDE devices it slows down, taking ages to complete the probe. Henceforth the kernel seems to work at a slower speed doing just about anything (compiling, etc.), but interactive performance is okay. It's a bizarre problem.
Of course, I assumed this was due to the latest timer changes, and so I disabled CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS and went back to CONFIG_HPET_TIMER. This works perfectly.
For the moment, is it worth debugging problems in the high res timers set or are there known (fixable) issues?
