Until recently (0.37 I think) Pd just tried to renice itself on OSX, but currently it uses pthread_setschedparam() to set the SCHED_RR policy. I'm not sure how this relates to SCHED_FIFO and I sure should find out :).
SCHED_RR and SCHED_FIFO are close. I think the only difference is if the tasks have the same priority, then maybe SCHED_RR actually starts time-slicing.
But don't take my work for it, look it up :-)
