hey mark,

my experiences are split, one the one hand, ck really does a good job 
and a relatively low percentage of  xruns  on high load, but still, 
comparing it to rt-sources, it would not actually get away that well. I 
am sure loads of kernel-freaks could give a more elaborate answer, but 
during heavy load (be it compiling something or doing a/v stuff, 
rt-sources are much more efficient and there are less xruns wtih jackd 
throughout. In case you don't need nvidias display drivers (I tested a 
bit even with some of the rt-driver patches from the nivida forum, the 
kernel freezes quite often) and use mostly open source stuff it should 
work more than ok.
