Ingo, We did some benchmarking on 2.6.19-rt14, compared it with 2.6.19 kernel and noticed several slowdowns. The test machine is a 2 socket woodcrest machine with your default configuration. Netperf TCP Streaming was slower by 40% ( 1 server and 1 client each bound to separate cpu cores on different socket, network loopback mode was used).
Volanomark was slower by 80% (Server and Clients communicate with network loopback mode. Idle time goes from 1% to 60%) Re-Aim7 was slower by 40% (idle time goes from 0% to 20%) Wonder if you have any suggestions on what could cause the slowdown. We've tried disabling CONFIG_NO_HZ and it didn't help much. Thanks.
