Sorry, I'm more confused than I was at the beginning of the thread.

How can the OP's problem (setting softirq-timer to SCHED_FIFO priority
99 is required to get sleep() to work, but causes large latencies when
rt_secret_rebuild() runs) be addressed?  Is the only solution to enable
high res timers?
