I used to be of the same opinion. Currently running a 3.6.11-rt kernel, and
getting very low latencies from it, on a modest 5 year old laptop.
We're talking 0.666 ms, while compiling a kernel, 0 xruns.
Notes:
-logged in as root (yes yes, i know)
-rtirq running on startup to fix interrupts
-wifi is a killer, turn it off (Thanks to Jeremy's LAC workshop on RT-ing a
system, I didn't know about it till then)
-cpu-scaling can cause xruns, cpupower frequency-set -g performance to run
all cores at 100% all the time.
-i kicked out bluetooth to be sure
-as few daemons as possible
-there is no proprietary driver for the Ati HD2400XT integrated for the 3.x
series kernel. Hence "normal" graphics, no 3d acceleration
Details:
Acer travelmate laptop: Intel Core2Duo 2.0 Ghz
