That may work if you have enough spare cpu power, but otherwise you may
get a lot of jitter which really hurts with fast pieces (lots of MIDI
messages at a fast tempo).

It's really not that hard to get realtime scheduling priorities on
recent Linux systems. I wouldn't want to run any computer music
application without that. But maybe RtMidi already does that behind the
scenes?
