OK this is pretty sweet. With T3 the jitter never exceeds 7% on an idle
system. As soon as I start moving the mouse this goes to 7 or 8%. I
cannot get it to go higher than 10%. Moving windows around has no
effect, the highest jitter happens when I type or move the mouse really
fast IOW it corresponds to the interrupt rate.

This is a pretty good baseline for what an xrun-free system would look
like. Now to test the latest version...

Well,

on V0.5.16 i see something like the below output (which is much worse). It
seems that missed irq's with rtc show up at the same time as the xruns in
jackd do [i ran both jackd and wakeup in parallel].


ok, could you try the -RT-V0.6.0 patch i've just uploaded? It could i
believe improve these latencies.

I am not able to get V0.6.2 to boot on my SMP system here. There is no indication as to why. It just locks. I don't see anything in the log that gives an indication as to why so I am only attaching the end of the log. If you would like all of it, just let me know. I am going to try building it for my SMP system now.
