hpet  is a hardware timer included on most machines since 2005
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Precision_Event_Timer)

This is generally what I use.

You may also want to disable frequency scaling as I have noticed that
xruns seem to occur when the CPU changes frequencies.  There should be
an applet for that (there was under Gnome).  I use KDE which does not
seem to have such an applet, so I wrote a quick little script to
handle that.

I also assume that you meant that you have already installed and tweaked rtirq?

Hth,
