i asked on the archlinux forum:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=277048

and learned that by default
preempt=full
and that i append it to
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=
(and not the way i was doing it).

also, to not go lowlatency you can append:
preempt=none

in that topic, i am advised of other ways to improve performance, such
as threadirqs (again to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=).

i tried these things, but saw no improvement, possibly because i was
trying it on a fairly powerful i7 anyway that is using the RT kernel by default.
