If the kernel is patched with Xenomai, did you check that you have the
same setting for FCSE ? Other than that, you can have an idea of how the
time is spent in both cases using the I-pipe tracer.

xenomai comes with a latency test that you can run on any two
configuration to compare their latencies. If you go on the adeos project
download area:
http://download.gna.org/adeos/patches/

You will find kernel patches for versions such as 2.6.13 or 2.6.14, they
are supposed to work with xenomai latest stable release. You can even
find patches for 2.4 kernels for i386 and ppc.

Chances are however that these patches have bugs which have been fixed
since then (after all, 2.6.11 is 7 years old).
