Different enough that you feel its likely to explain the significant
difference between my experience and that of both Benno and Juhana
when trying to record to disk ? Is it different enough to explain why
the buffer cache write-behind batching doesn't seem to show up as a
problem for me ?
Stephen - thanks for paying attention and giving us time on this. I
know you have a lot to work on, and that HDR is not what most people
consider to be a hot Linux application; our little minority is pretty
fanatical :) The application I have ("ardour") stands in relation to
existing HDR systems in the same way that Linux or *BSD-based routers
stand to Cisco h/w, with the difference being that very few people own
the dedicated h/w yet, and so we have a real chance to provide a
genuine, new service for people by getting this to work.
