Morton's low latency patches in eliminating all kernel stalls. They
work better in dealing with some common stalls, however.

Windows is simply better than in mainstream Linux. Linux, like most
Unix-related OS's, was designed around high throughput, not low
scheduling latency. Thankfully, given the source, its been possible to
change that :)
