just for information: If I preload 80 instead of 120 of my stimuli it works very fine! So I would need more than my 512M RAM if I want to preload more than 80 stimuli. I got the problem while I was logging swapping-info with vmstat 1 > /home/christoph/logmem.txt I can even run it without max_priority (to get mouse-events) and very few (<15) longest intervals between polling the mouse are all <20ms. This is accurate enough for my experiments. Not to mention, that all stimuli are nicely synced with vblanc and the trigger signal. So let us go for fmri experiments, where the stimuli are presented and responses logged by means of the great VISIONEGG!!!
