Thank you for the clarification.

I use Scientific Linux 4, which probably equal to RHEL4,
with its default kernel 2.6.9.
I don't know if it has new rtc stuff.
I'll try a new kernel later, anyway.

Totally agreed!

The increasing delay issue in meetme is a *really problem*.
After ten minutes or so conversation, the delay can increase to
3-4 seconds, which is *unaccetable* for most people.
All my customers have complains about it.
I really hope it can be solved before 1.2 release.

So where can I find the patch you mentioned?
