System

Latency rather than throughput is the optimization target for X-Plane on Linux: a stable frame-time budget matters more than raw computing power. This section presents two kernel profiles — one for the stock kernel, one for Liquorix — and the monitoring tools to verify every tuning measure.

  • Why Latency Matters — Video introduction and tuning philosophy
  • Kernel Tuning — Kernel parameters, CPU governor, interrupt affinity, NVMe tuning
  • Swap & Memory — Page reclaim, swap configuration, zram compression, OOM prevention
  • Monitoring — btop, turbostat, perf, mpstat and other analysis tools
  • Tuning Case Study — Measured tuning steps from micro-stutters to stable frame times
