[SOLVED] TSC on Atom CPU and downscaling CPU frequency

[frednork]

Just tried something I found online  sudo cyclictest -h 100 -q -i 1000 -l 1000000 -n -p 90 -t 4

got

got this info from https://taste.tuxfamily.org/wiki/index.p...-RT_kernel

I think that is a gnuplot input file. It can show your CPU latency as a time history plot.

But yeah this is something I hope to add into snakepit on day. Along with CD playback, ripping and many more.

So many ideas, so little time. Lol...
