'Thesycon’s DPC Latency Checker is a Windows tool that analyses the capabilities of a computer system to handle real-time data streams properly. It may help to find the cause for interruptions in real-time audio and video streams, also known as drop-outs.'
I have run across another app by Resplendence Software - LatencyMon(Freeware,also)
Quote from Resplendence site:
'LatencyMon will display the execution time of each ISR, DPC routine and hard pagefault and will resolve them to the drivers and processes responsible for executing them. It will create a comprehensible report but it will also represent all sampled data in a detailed manner allowing you to perform in-depth analysis.'

Some of you may find it useful... I tried it and it does show some useful info.
And, it does go a little farther than DPC Latency Checker.
Here is a quote from BetaNews write up on it: Tried of crackly PC audio? Diagnose with LatencyMon
Quote:'While the LatencyMon author has focused on sound problems, the program has more general uses, too. Essentially it's just telling you which processes are making particularly urgent demands on your CPU, and so if you can remove a few of these then you may see performance benefits in other areas, too.'
I scanned this with Virustotal, Kaspersky, Superantispyware and Malwarebytes... It came up clean for me. However, with any download, I recommend you, always, do your own scans.
As a side note, seems LatencyMon had a hand at discovering a uh-oh over at Avast.
Enjoy!
