> a) do you have a preemtive kernel and low-latency scheduling
I'm running a stock 2.4.20 kernel. You could call this my "production" box, so
I'm hesitant to run development/customized kernels on it. If I'm able to split *
out onto its own box, I will be much more willing to try optimizations like this
(I'm thinking about using Gentoo so I can compile the entire system from the
ground up with optimizations). Do you have a suggestion for a good kernel
version to use for this?

Since this box provides so many services to me, it's inconvenient to strip it
down like that, so I have not tried it yet. However, it's a good idea, so I'll
try to create a "maintenance window" to try it out soon.

*nod* I don't know what the load looks like for a single X100P versus my T100P
with 3 active channels. I do know that the wct1xxp module itself seems to create
a load that shows up in "top" as a system percentage of anything from next to 0%
to occasional spikes of about 20%.
