A few notes about -rt mode:
First, -rt is different on OSX compared to Linux. On Linux, the flag sets the priority of the pd process just like nice or renice
Sorry if I somehow have a basic misunderstanding about how POSIX real-time scheduling works on Linux, but I think you're very wrong (or else the behavior of "nice" has changed a bit since the last time I researched it).
I think you completely missed the point I was making, which concerns the difference between the way processes are represented in the two systems.
Hi Chris. I do understand that you were talking primarily about OSX and not about Linux, and I'm not at all disupting the primary point you are making. But even though it may have nothing do do with your argument, you made a statement about how "pd -rt" works on Linux (which I do have some experience with), and I believe that what you said is in error. So, I felt that I needed to reply. The fact is, that on Linux, using POSIX real-time scheduling as enabled by the "-rt" option, _is_ different then simply "nice'ing" a process to a not so nice level. I just wanted to clarify that. That's really all.
