Thanks for the reply!
So, what is the difference between "voluntary preemtible" kernels und
"preemtible" kernels (what is a low latency desktop?). Wwho is doing
what voluntarily here?
Would it be worth to recompile the kernel with "preemptible kernel"
enabled, as I'm using my linux installation on a desktop machine? Or is
the gain only measurable but not noticeable?
Thanks and greets
