Ya know, I have a real-time stock price feed coming in to my laptop all
day, feeding an Excel spreadsheet through the RDS server. This puts a big
load on the CPU and the OS. While that is going on, I have streaming radio
running at the same time -- sometimes streaming video. Occasionally there
are hiccups, but I have never ever had a freeze. The various links in the
system all are programmed with the ability to recover when something gets
out of sync or there's an interruption.

I know I have lots of DPC interrupts because I have several cloud services
running in the background. And there are plenty of other real-time hardware
interfaces (e.g. sound recording, etc.) whose drivers don't lose their mind
when there are DPC interrupts. Apparently the programming technique for
writing a driver that doesn't have this problem is well enough known so
that other driver providers don't have this problem, and don't have to make
this excuse.

Just saying.
