Hi,
I've done some changes to lowlatency patched kernel. Mainly "fixes" to DRM
drivers and few network drivers. Most probably I have done something really
stupid, but those work here(tm). Especially the Radeon driver patch has got
a lot of testing and seems to have huge impact to latencies in my system.
Best regards,
