I run pd on my SGI under root for performance with the nice negative values to increase its priority level, but only for performance reasons...

Now I have been messing around with jMax/fts and it runs well... would pd run as well under real-time system tunings?
Yes, it would run more reliable with realtime scheduling, regarding audio dropouts. I never had too much improvement using "nice" values. I know how to do it "correctly" from the Linux side, we just have to team up and make a solution for SGI too. Maybe a goal for 0.26 ? ( .. uh version 0.26 already :)
