Not true at all, adding rt features to the Linux kernel slows things down, that is just the way real-time features work. > There are systems that do use rt > features today, Yes, but they are slower than non-rt systems on the same hardware with the same operating system, right? > extending android capabilities to support that would definitely be > desirable. Then please join the main Real Time Linux kernel developer community to work on resolving these issues. It is not an Android specific thing at all.
