you are right, i forgot about kernel threads. If they are nice -10 on
Jack's system too then they are within striking range indeed, especially
since they are typically idle and if then they are active for short
bursts of time and get the maximum boost. Jack, could you renice these
to -5, to make sure they dont interfere?
Yup, their bursty nature makes them seem a likely culprit.
btw., why are these at nice -10? workqueue.c sets nice value to -5
normally.
Heh, I was just wondering the same thing.
BTW, grepping set_user_nice shows a few more possible culprits.
One more reason that there may be value in promoting the audio app to
rt scheduling.
