[mythtv] weirdness with kernel 'RT' patch?

G'day folks,

I recently patched kernel with RT stuffs (nothing to do with mythtv but with me & MIDI ),
and I've noticed things with mythtv (0.21 release) are a bit 'weird'...ie; it seems to be a
bit slow doing things versus before the RT patch-work.

Anyhow, checking through dmesg this morning I noticed ;

BUG: mythbackend:21758 RT task yield()-ing!

Note that I'm just reporting this artifact as a matter of course - I don't consider it
a 'real' problem.....everything kept going after the oops. 


Regards,

Don
