Interesting.

So I was doing some googling to try to find out some technical details
on what is involved in the low latency kernel , and I came across this
to start with.

http://askubuntu.com/questions/126664/why-to-choose-low-latency-kernel-over-generic-or-realtime-ones

As I was reading I was curious as to my CPU power, so I opened a shell
to run "lshw". As soon as I hit "enter" my rip stopped in the usual
fashion, but then everything on my desktop slowed right down. My
mouse was moving in slow-motion. I tried typing this and it was
missing letters (since rebooted).

So it seems basically that my system is underpowered, I guess. I have
4 cores, and this is from lshw. Maybe I need a real sound card too?
