The FAQ suggests that anything more than 10Khz might need a RM handler as well. However, if you've got a P90 then the extra clock cycles probably aren't a big deal. The graphics won't affect interrupt latency at all. The graphics code is just interrupted. In fact, most graphics code is slow not because of the CPU time it uses but because the bus is slow (ray tracing is an obvious exception). --------------- Peter Berdeklis Dept. of Physics, Univ. of Toronto
