Carlos, explanation is close enough, makes sense, as I've been reading up on
this too.
Marcus, yes, I now have to agree that for the regular, the default kernels are
just fine. The rt stuff I can see as being more application specific as
perhaps in the medical or aeronautics fields.
Thank you both for your enlightening inputs!

I looked into the topic for a bit, what I was "needing" the RT kernel
for was audio recording/processing. Normal users can't run threads in
"realtime" priority, the super user can, but then running general
applications as the superuser is not really the best idea. At any rate,
I guess the RT kernel has facilities for setting up a group or users
that can run realtime threads. How much this affects the performance of
these applications, I don't know and haven't found out. I decided that
it was too much trouble right now to try out a RT kernel, especially
after I finally got lm_sensors working the recent kernels for 10.3, and
I prefer to hold off until/unless I see poor performance in my audio apps.
