Hello,

I was wondering what would justify moving to RT linux?
I was actually contemplating doing the move to RT myself, but finally
decided against it.

All RT-required feedback/acquisition/etc are implemented in
hardware/electronics. As a result, my IOCs don't have to react
Real-Time.

But could you describe a "real" situation where RT is necessary? 
Maybe if you have an IOC which is connected to a device that generate
hardware interrupts, etc. but so far I never encountered such a device.

Thanks,
