linuxrt package not standard in studio ?

[Gerhard Lang]

Indeed, on my amd and intel standard systems there is no urgent need to 
use a rt-kernel. These actual generic and preempt kernels i.e. allow 
rt-activation in jack and there is not much difference in cpu-load 
against rt- or ck-kernels. Using these rt-kernels you get extended 
options to customize and optimize  IRQ-settings an priorities; this may 
be interesting for the bleeding edge of performance tuning. But much 
more important is maximizing cpufrequency (fixed, no ondemand) by cpu 
frequency scaling for minimizing latencies and xruns.
