No, the time differences looks like the high res mode never gets
switched on. its oszillating between 0 and 10ms, which is the usual
behaviour for a non hrt kernel.
Also I would recommend to test without preempt-rt in the first place.
Preempt-rt on ARM is not really well tested, so you dont fight two
battles at once.
