its a basic problem with real time software, the
POSIX API etc.
JACK tries to lock *all* the process memory.
This is to ensure that nothing gets swapped out, right ?
Else it is very hard to ensure real time performance ?

a waste of time ?
Mostly, though there are people who would probably find it valuable.
