I've not given up, I'm still working on it :) Currently not finding as
much time for it as I'd like though...
I actually have a new version of the priority inheritance patch
finished now and it works very fine here. However I still need to do
more tests and benchmarks before I want to release it, to make sure
it's not buggy like the last one... btw, while doing tests with my new
computer with dualcore-CPU I found that it's easy to cause these
freezes/glitches with 2 CPUs as well, you just have to put enough load
on both cores.. so it's not limited to single-processor machines. I'm
suppose you can even have it on a quadcore (although I can't test that)
with enough system load.
Currently I'm trying to find the reason for remaining glitches that are
not solved by my patch. Although it significantly reduces the number of
glitches on my machine under load, they can still occur under certain
conditions. From what I've gathered so far, it seems to be a different
problem unrelated to mutexes and priorities, I'm currently
investigating that and hope to solve that too.

Julian
