On the pi, yes, I think the wintel machines are too. The kernels they are 
running are VERY long in the tooth, from 3.something I think.

North central West Virginia, near mile 99 of I-79.

Now that I have the proper syntax, the rpi4b latency's for this kernel 
are amazing:
Linux rpi4.coyote.den 4.19.71-rt24-v7l+ #1 SMP PREEMPT RT Thu Feb 6 
07:09:18 EST 2020 armv7l GNU/Linux, I built just shy of 2 years ago, its 
reporting under 5 u-secs max jitter for both threads, and its pretty 
stable.  And my lathe is moving very smoothly with the new 3 phase 
stepper servo's. I have not rebooted it back to bullseye to see if the 
v5.16.2-rt19 I built last week is any better.

You too Steffen.
