So far, I can see the real time kernel does better (?? faster, more often
??) polling. Is this polling of inputs (usb/audio/etc.) or am I off mark?
I'm thinking that isn't the whole story. Is there a reason this would be
less desirable than any other way (i.e. generic)? Does it use more
resources which would make the generic kernel run better on less powerful
systems?

TIA
