    The odd half second here or there. A simple example is handling a page
    fault or an I/O when you are doing a memory allocation. Your RT task can then
    get stuck at the back of a queue of pending I/O operations.

    We don't try to be 'seriously realtime' in paticular we don't deal with
    priority inversion and kernel pre-emption. If it hurts when you miss
    deadlines look at RtLinux
