Comment 49 for bug 204996

Well the good news is that the -rt kernel right out of the Hardy repos seems to be holding. I'll report back after some hours more use but right now, I'd have expected it to blow up by now.

I think there's maybe a 5% to 10% video performance hit in GLXgears with the -rt kernel, but I don't notice any speed issues. Compiz and WiFi are working, as is flash, audio...basically, if this -rt kernel holds, I'm going to recommend it as a possible cure in the "something to try" category. Expect another post here on my progress late tonight (Saturday, California time...).
