[mythtv-users] Preemptive Kernel Patch

[Cliff Draper]

Hi,

I just tried the Preemptive Kernel Patch.  I went from practically no
stutter to very noticeable stutter.  That was just during play back;
the machine wasn't running anything else.  So, thinking that some
other process was occasionally stealing the system (I don't know,
mysql or something), I reniced by -5 all of the mythfrontend
processes.  After that, the stutter went away.

Has anyone else had a similar experience with the Preemptive Kernel
Patch?  Did you have to renice as well?  By how much?
