I also compiled a 3.6.1 with a local shave (only components I want) + my low jitter config and tweaks. (most notably 90hz timer, which is where many go wrong.) Quake 2, with software renderer, in wine, went from 15/30 fps, to 60fps with some jitter, with full distro low-jitter kernel, to perfect o

In the context of os-jitter, delay/latency is measured as jitter. Peace Be With You. On Sat, 06 Oct 2012 03:06:57 +0200, wrote: less jitter != less latency you could (in theory) eliminate jitter by delaying every keypress processed for exactly 1 second by having the code paths that process

less jitter != less latency you could (in theory) eliminate jitter by delaying every keypress processed for exactly 1 second by having the code paths that process keypresses faster insert delays before implementing the results. that would result in zero jitter, but horrific latency. latency

Reducing jitter seems central for many things. First of all keypresses seem faster. (less jitter = less latency). Doom 3 and similar jittersensitive OpenGL applications run smoothly, and better than windows. Doom 3 was also my main app to get running well, and measuring jitter in the signalpat
