what does thte lack of a realtime kernel mean

[aYo Binitie]

Hi There,
I've been mulling over whether or not to go to Intrepid. I must confess the
release note stating the failure of 'real-time kernel' has put me off.
However I'm quite new to Ubuntuland and would like to know what exactly this
means in term of performance. I'm no sound or video designer, I just like
Ustudio but, do a heavy amount of Asctionscript development on it. What does
the lack of a realtime kernel mean??

Gracias
