rncbc.org a.k.a. Rui Nuno Capela

a guy at my distro's forum said that rtirq depends on the kernel version. I guess he didn't know if it was as long as it's patched with Molnar's RT-patchset which it is.
the reason I want to use rtirq is to speed up my system. I have an amd1.7bg cpu with 1gb ram yet when using jconv to run IR files larger that 100kb, I get crazy mad xruns and the system becomes unusable.
someone at linuxmusicians.com suggested that I try to put higher priority on the soundcard irq.
