Incorrect. It has to do with our inability to maintain the RT kernel
to Ubuntu propers liking. A lot of it stems from miscommunication
along with upstream RT not patching for a current upstream (or what
ever Ubuntu uses) kernel. Resulting in us shipping a slightly older
kernel.

The short answer is, the real-time kernel will decrease the latency for
audio applications, thus reducing x-runs.  Your mileage will vary, of
course.  Some computers are unusable for audio without the RT kernel, others
really don't need it.  The RT kernel tends to be unpredictable (which is why
it is no longer the standard Ubuntu Studio kernel), so it is recommended
that you use it only if the generic kernel (or specialized variants) does
not give you good enough performance.
