Oh well, not for everyone. If you want to be sure and have no xrun
whatsoever a -rt kernel is definetly the better choice imho (don't have
data to back that up though), especially because of the irq handler
prios, which are not available on vanila kernels (maybe that has changed
though). Seeting up the priorities right is crucial in setting up an
audio system. I.e. i can run buffersizes of 32 or even 16 frames w/o
xruns (except for application provoked ones), but of course the context
switch overhead wastes quite a few cycles at these insane settings. But
it's a good test case so one can be sure everything will be smooth at 64
frames.
Have fun,

I am curious how to get PD running on my machine
processing complex patches but with a latency of 5.33 msec (128 frame
buffer size I think) or less. I would even settle fo 10msec (256) with
no XRUNS.
You don't need the -rt kernel for that, the standard kernel will work.
