Hello Greg, All of my tests so far have been using empty loops! I can't
get the timing right even on an empty loop... that is why I didn't
bother explaining the size constraints for our jitter buffers, our
packages, or the rest of our app.

The reason I didn't post this is because it was a non-issue (1 or
2%)... like I said the test loop is empty, just calling nanosleep to
try and achieve the timing... When using the spin loop technique, of
course, the CPU usage went up, but I only tried said technique when
using a processor set, and only when my test program was the only LWP
assigned to the target processor. Therefore the system still had one
entire processor in which to schedule other LWPs.

Apology accepted. Thanks for any help you may provide.
