Subject: [linux-audio-user] regarding services and cron jobs

Greetings:
I've tacked on a copy of top's report for a plain-vanilla Planet CCRMA
RH 9. I'm going to be advising a client regarding what services he
can/should disable for best-case recording (with a nearly identical
system), so I thought I'd use my own system for the primary tests. I'd
like to know which of the services and jobs listed by top can be safely
disabled during the use of a setup consisting of Jack, Rosegarden, and
Hydrogen, all in the latest & greatest versions from Planet C. Any and
all suggestions will be cosmically appreciated.
Btw, at the time of the screen capture I was running Jack (qjackctl),
Mozilla, XMMS, and FileRunner, a Tk-based file manager (which is why you
see a wish instance in the top report). This report was generated for my
desktop machine.
Best regards,
dp
