Unfortunately this comes at a price:
During development it is way easier to lock your system when you use an rt 
kernel. Because the amoc-running process with realtime-priority gets all the 
processing time it wants, it can be _very_ hard to get the system to react to 
keyboard/mouse or network-ssh to get it back under control...
Of course this isn't really an issue for the mere user.
