Realtime has nothing to do with 'nice'. With 'nice' you set the process'
time-slice so that it gets more (or less) processor-time. With realtime
("soft" or "hard" realtime - there's a difference) the process is
"guaranteed" to have processor-time within certain time-limits, something
which "normal" schedulers don't do. See
'http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real-time_computing'.
