New Benchmark
Mesa 22.3.6 vs Mesa-TKG 23.1
DXVK_ASYNC=1 RADV_PERFTEST=gpl. And yes I know that gpl is in Mesa since 23.0 and not before

Schedtool & IRQBalance consideration
AIM Lab with ReactiveTrack Standard task (1 try). It's not 100% revealing of which choice is the best, but only give a brief idea of which could be better. TkG PDS crashed a lot, maybe related to GPU OC (AMD RX 6800XT, Midnight Edition, pushed to 332W > 2600Mhz on core through CoreControl). Since TkG BMQ I switched max power to 289W and seem more stable. Kernel 6.1.8 Xanmod-TT is the one from this AUR Package: linux-xanmod-tt-uksm-cjktty. The notable difference could come from UKSM usage.
