FWIW, CONFIG_PREEMPT _does_ reduce the avarage scheduling latency.
It's still sort of soft real-time, but the effect is measurable (I'm
talking 2.4 kernels here, BTW) However, on desktop systems you
probably don need to worry about this, but for an embedded system you
may like the slightly improved reaction time.

Well... average latency is mostly meaningless, only peak latency really
matters for anything that need some sort of real time imho...
