I don't like running stuff as root and RT-lsm allows me not to have to do that. It's use in creating best latency on it's own...well, it does not match what I had with the 2.4 kernel in Mandrake yet but it still enables me to record in Ardour, run jack at 512 x 2 as a user on my Delta1010LT with FX monitoring and is low enough latency that I can play a guitar through it live running Ardour and LADSPA fx like delays, reverbs and chorus' without the unsuspecting knowing. The only issue I find is I have to let my MDK 10 box catch up after I start jack then ardour other wise Ardour drops the jack pipe. Other than that it's fine.
