Generally, for linux lowering the number of processes can improve response.
The process table is large as seen from terminal running top.? A lot of the
processes are for things like running the GUI and other multitasking and
multi-threaded operations.?
Tentec has good QSK at least on the 4 radios I have (Argo 505, Triton, 6n2, Eagle)
but generally the processing between the user and the RF is small, fast and
RTOS (likely custom) based were there is a MPU.? The first two are totally analog.
Just my $.02 all the hardware for SSB and data are really in the way for CW and?
inefficient.? Good CW alone can take far less hardware and power for the
same output.? Of course everything else is retained because a good RX is still
important.? The whole idea of OOK is simple, until its added to a system that
isn't.
