I don't see how Larry can do it in lmbench. It would not be a complex
kernel patch in vanilla Linux and it could be done in a module in RTLinux,
but how then to get the numbers for the feeble OSs?
Unsolicited testimonial on RTL mailing list:
"The Controller now runs safely a longer time ( 8-10 seconds we need)
with 4000 Hz on a Pentium 120 and does it's job very well (realize: in
the Windows-World you reach at this point of time 200 Hz (No, not 2000
Hz 200 Hz!) on a 300 Mhz Pentium with something like DT-Vee and a 8000
Deutsch Marks A/D converter card! They tried to sell us a DSP card for
15000 Deutsch Marks without software! We only smiled and showed them our
Linux box. Imagine their faces :-) "
