comparison of Xfce4 and KDE:

Differencies yes, but imho not really relevant, since they not differ within a factor of two.

Some of those figures do have a difference of up to 50%.
Current thinking would have XFCE coming out on top due to it supposedly being lighter on resources. To me that seems a little curious.
Tho to be honest I can't really say that I've used KDE in over a decade.

just before invoking lcnc-hw:
now, while lcnc-hw is running:
and I can hear the same garbled audio output. This seems rather weird to me! Il have to check on stock kernels as well, but with these there was never any audio output.
I cannot see a part in my script, that could invoke loading of these "snd" modules. Can only be firefox. But then why not on other kernels?

You could also add the modules to a blacklist, which is the usual way.
The thing is the kernel is detecting the sound card and the loading of the modules is not an error.
what doesoutput ?dmesg | grep -i sound

dmesg | grep -i sound

There should be some activity logged in via dmesg after the modules load.

Seem to have differences in the used by column.
So apart from the snd modules being load what else is being loaded that wasn't loaded befroe ?

I will reboot, then dothen start lcnc-hw, after say 30 secs Il dothen after the script has terminated, il do
Like that, we get diffs from pre/run/post. Hopefully that will help. Any other Idea?
Need to attend a meeting now, will do that later

Ran lcnc-hw again now. here are the results:
Got a real time delay when running with basethread with 50'000 uS period. It is now running again without a basethread.
Here is the result with just a servo thread: I guess not bad at all for servo. But I'd like to use it with my existing 2 BOBs for a bridge mill and a lathe.
Going to check the modules story now.

Some results:
The PC is a DELL 980, no Lenovo stuff is installed!
Now I am really puzzled
I do not want to clutter this Thread with debugging stuff, so I'll open a new thread . If you're keen on seeing what gas been going on from this point on wards, kindly go there and let's keep on track with >results< - the topic of this thread.
