Mmmm mach -- the only instance where I can point and say "haha! your microkernel is bigger than my monolithic one" (c.f. the Ely meet on Wednesday)
The only difference between Linux and Mach from the point of view of low-latency and kernel preemption is that mach was written to be reentrant from the start, and the Linux kernel has had to have it hacked on the side.
Linux 2.6 is much much better than Mach, no doubts about it.
