My tests show that the standard 2.6.14 kernel will cause xruns of up to
10ms. You can get this down to 1ms or so by doing:
sysctl -w net.core.netdev_max_backlog=5 (prevents network tx/rx softirqs
from causing xruns)
echo 32 > /sys/block/hd*/queue/max_sectors_kb (prevent long running disk
IRQ handlers from causing xruns)
These results are completely reproducible on my system. They will
probably lower disk and network throughput a little, but any low latency
solution will.
