Subject:   -13- Guaranteeing Real Time performance
Date: 8 Apr 1994 00:00:01 EST

  Since having other applications running can effect real-time
  performance, it's sometimes desirable to minimize the number of
  daemons and other processes.  If you have problems achieving real-
  time behavior, try the pfuLockCPU in libpfutil.  You might also try
  turning off the desktop support and other daemons that are not
  crucial to your application, e.g.:

     % touch ~/.disableDesktop
    or
     % mkdir ~/.desktop-<machinename>
     % touch ~/.desktop-<machinename>/nodesktop

  and for total removal do:

     % chkconfig desktop off
     % chkconfig objectserver off
     % chkconfig directoryserver off
     % chkconfig fontserver off
     % chkconfig soundscheme off

  Other tips:

     - Be sure to run as root.

     - Be sure to kill any clocks, gr_osview, or other tools that may
       wake up and draw themselves.

     - When multiprocessing, make sure the executable is on a local
       file system.
