Is Linux Lowlatency means Realtime kernel?

[Ben Edwards]

Low Latency means close to realtime.  No Latency would be realtime,
bit is not possible.  In digital music production (recording, stereo
mastering etc) low latency is very important.  For normal desktop
usage it is not, in fact it may be a bad idea as it reduces multi user
performance.  This is because it is designed to do one low latency
thing at once.
