So you got a big jitter using nanosleep??? If that's the case, could
you post the times you got. I'll also boot a kernel with the latest
-rt patch, without highres compiled, and see if I can reproduce the
same on x86.

You're very kind! Here you go:

This is from "Linux uclibc 2.6.14.2 #12 PREEMPT" without -rt:

100 revs; min: 19888 max: 20386 avg: 20013
100 revs; min: 19724 max: 20296 avg: 20013

100 revs; min: 10962 max: 34421 avg: 21415

100 revs; min: 11660 max: 29751 avg: 21066
100 revs; min: 10457 max: 30612 avg: 21417
100 revs; min: 10270 max: 37828 avg: 21513

First four lines are with the system otherwise idle. Then I fired 'ls
-Rl /mnt/some/nfs/share' on a framebuffer console.

And the same on a "Linux uclibc 2.6.18-rt6 #19 PREEMPT":

100 revs; min: 19847 max: 20242 avg: 20014
100 revs; min: 19685 max: 20332 avg: 20014
100 revs; min: 19652 max: 20374 avg: 20014
100 revs; min: 19622 max: 20399 avg: 20012
100 revs; min: 19736 max: 26612 avg: 20074
100 revs; min: 19478 max: 21199 avg: 20021
100 revs; min: 19569 max: 21093 avg: 20022
100 revs; min: 19582 max: 20460 avg: 20017
100 revs; min: 19723 max: 20410 avg: 20016
100 revs; min: 19459 max: 24565 avg: 20056
100 revs; min: 19610 max: 24257 avg: 20053
100 revs; min: 19376 max: 26848 avg: 20079
100 revs; min: 19445 max: 26522 avg: 20077
100 revs; min: 19510 max: 22349 avg: 20034
100 revs; min: 19562 max: 20334 avg: 20017

The one to be blamed the most seems to be FB. 'ls ... > /dev/null'
leads to less than 2ms slips.

I'm supposed to make a 10ms control loop, so I could live with a couple
of ms jitter. 7ms is rather high and I think it tells about some
problem which makes one wonder if even higher occasional slips are
possible.

I made my test code visible if you want to take a look: www dot
