Dear Jan:
For the graphic thing, our system really needs graphic, it could not be removed. Otherwise, I saw articles that someone got very low latency also in some X86 ubuntu-desktop version, so I wonder whether the graphic is the key factor to the realtime system.
For your second point: "Try that with a vanilla kernel on your hardware."  You mean I can use the hardware latency detector to test my kernel?

You mean that  you have a graphic desktop running? Try without that. GPUs may 
cause hardware-related latencies as well.

The mainline kernel has the Hardware Latency Detector (see 
linux/Documentation/trace/hwlat_detector.rst). Try that with a vanilla kernel on 
your hardware.
