What kind of numbers have you been seeing? I have seen scheduling
latency of well below 2ms with preempt enabled (usually below 1ms), and
in the double digits with preempt disabled. I'll run more tests, but
that was basically the picture.

What do you mean by "multimedia"? Running xmms and running Ardour, for
example, are two different things. What kind of things do you run?

I don't see why merely compiling less drivers is going to make a
difference. Unless you have something else in mind when you use the word
"fluff".
