What does low latency kernel mean?
Full preempt + 1000hz?
I also use voluntary preempt but 250hz on my wrt1200.
Indeed 1000hz will give you lower latency but also reduces throughput.
Bufferbloat.net also recommends 1000hz but I choose somewhat of the middle way here.
And I can also confirm that everything feels snappier.
I don't know how voluntary preempt can make that of a difference. Because it should only affect user space programs?
Is true that kernel hz should match your power grind frequency?
For example if your power grid frequency is 50hz you should use 250hz, 500hz or 1000hz?
For 60hz use 300hz, 600hz, 1200hz ?
But I guess thats a myth because the power grid voltage gets converted anyway.
Rt kernel is only useful if you have applications that can make use of it.
However I also tried the rt kernel thing x)
I could make the patches apply and openwrt just booted fine. But bugged all over the place. For example viewing the graphs generated insane amount of CPU usage then the system crashed
