Quoting Mark 27e3kk302@sneakemail.com:
OK, er, I do embedded work, and know what RT means. I only suggested an obvious kernel change as one idea.
There may also a speed increase up to the numbers of CPU's, because the new kernel is SMP enabled. Additionally i think the new gcc also does his part.
The general claim that RT makes systems slower is hogwash.
1. Why? 2. Hard rt systems have nothing to do with execution speed, right? They _have to_ met their realtime constraints otherwise peoples live are at risk.
A good RT system will distribute CPU cycles optimally with or without RT constraints.
How could a RT System distribute the cpu cycles optimally? Does a RT system really distribute cpu cycles?
Anyway the person asking has a faster system now. Sure that could result from someplace else, who knows.
time to guess ;)
