I've never had stability problems with "-rt" and use it in all my routine work. My idea is to make my development environment exactly the same as the performance environment to reduce the chance of surprises. However, if you're in the habit of having Pd spawn sub-processes, "-rt" is dangerous. I'm not sure if "renicing" is safe or not; I never do it myself, preferring to count on the RTPRIO setting to take care of things.
My main reason to not run -rt normally is to avoid the risk of getting into a lockup when I do something wrong in my patch. ;)
A reason not to have it in .pdrc/.pdsettings is, that I often to run two Pds, one for Gem, one for audio. I prefer starting the audio Pd with -rt manually then, while the Gem-Pd won't run with -rt.
(I also run two Pds, because Gem with Mesa-DRI drivers crashes Pd when closing the gemwin, and often even without closing. By running two Pds I only loose half of my work.)
But anyway, I believe all this should be a choice of the user and not be predefined by the package.
