What I was doing was repeating section 7.2 from that link, which
states that the system monitor will show the second CPU / Core at 0%
load, even though it is busy with the realtime tasks.
That certainly matches my experience with an SMP, RT kernel. I have 0%
load in System Monitor on CPU1, and CPU0 shows less load than before,
combined with a latency test that has dropped from 15,000 to about
6,000.
