I didn't have time tonight to get tests on all the kernels under load, but
here are the results, relatively load free.
I need to write a short python program to put the systems under duress.
Hopefully I'll have time tommorrow to work on it and I can have the rest of
the results in.
PS:I'm attaching some results from an RT kernel on a debian system below
that they used while the box was recieving flood ping from an external
source and repeated loops of hackbench 25 and ls -Ral /.

Cyclictest is widely used for measuring latencies:

The rt patches for the latest kernels (3.2 at this point) are here:

This is pretty much all I add to the rt patched kernels for Fedora (with
the proper configuration options, of course, I'm attaching the extra
options I'm currently using). To get the best performance in the Jack world
you need to tune the irq kernel thread priorities, that is usually done
using rtirq
(
http://www.rncbc.org/jack/#**rtirq<http://www.rncbc.org/jack/#rtirq>),
and of course jackd should run with the proper rt priority as well.
