>From the latency test window, servo thread was 218376, and base thread was 88463, this after firing up FF and hitting a couple of sites, m oving FF around, and running glxgears. Machine is an old HP with a 1Ghz athlon and miss-matched memory. Off board ati 9200SE video with radeon driver. Kubuntu-8.04 on top of the LTS distrib, running the emc/rtai kernel.
