Search the archives. It's not a kernel thing IIRC, it's a XFree86 being
niced problem, and thus not having high priority or something like
that. I do believe workarounds were discussed.
AFAIK, in RH8 X was reniced to -10 by default. In RH9 it wasn't. I
suppose this is what you refer to. People tell me though that the
renicing of X itself was a workaround for a scheduler "bug" that should
get solved by the "interactivity" set of patches.
If I'm wrong about this then please put me in my place because I too
hate for my RH desktop to be so damn laggy all the time when it comes to
sound.
