There are examples around - try googling.

You could try recompiling the kernel with a high jiffy rate - say 1024Hz
There have been some past posts in the group on this.

You can try re-'nice'-ing you program to have a higher priority

You could try patching the kernel with the pre-emptive, low-latency
patches (try googling "pre-emptive low latency 2.4 linux kernel patches")

Or you could just up your fifo :-)

Probably, but there are no guarantees about timing.
