System optimizations?

[Vhond]

The only tweaks I have applied are the following:

- added in /boot/cmdline.txt: isolcpus=2,3
- changed options in /lib/systemd/system/mpd.service
    CPUSchedulingPolicy=fifo
    CPUSchedulingPriority=70
    Nice=-15
    ExecStart=/usr/bin/taskset -c 2,3 /usr/local/bin/mpd --no-daemon $MPDCONF

I did not change anything else. This made some difference!  In fact, because of the fact that mpd and its subprocesses run on two reserved cores, and nothing else runs on those cores, you should get all the advantages of LL and RT kernels.

Its all sounding very nice now

Has anyone been game to try the whole list of tweaks from the DIY forum as swizzle has pointed out ?

Also tried this tweak (3.8.4), it worked (it sounded more open) but I couldn't reboot / shutdown the RPI/Moode anymore using the menu functionality from the GUI...
