I do not have any Linux box anymore, unless you consider an Android smartphone as a Linux box.
However, if you wanna play with the kernel and are seeking low latency, you better go with a patched kernel: you will need the rt (real-time) patches and probably will like to test the BFS (Brain Fucking Schedule) patches by Con Kolivas - often called ck-sources. Linux distributions often have a kernel version with both patches (and others) on their repositories - merged in one source. Otherwise, you need to patch the kernel sources and compile it.
If you are using SSD, you may get better results using the NOOP I/O Scheduler than the default one. I/O scheduler is related with storage input/output scheduling, not processes.
