Description

System latency sources can be inspected to see which kernel or application paths delay responsiveness. It helps developers and performance testers identify causes of lag, wakeups, and scheduling delays.

Performance tools can require elevated access and may report low-level system details. Compare results under controlled workloads before changing kernel or service settings.
