The trouble with using LFS for any production environment is that when a new release of Ardour or Rosegarden comes out that depends on a new version of GTK or QT, which depends on a newer version of... well, you'll find yourself in proverbial "dependancy h3ll" soon enough.
Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of LFS and have considered doing this very thing (heavily optimized audio rig) with it, but unless you can be content with a "static" system without major upgrades (which may mean not being able to upgrade to some cool software in the future), it might not be worth the trouble.
More on topic, what distros do folks recommend that include (or have reliable 3rd party repos like PlanetCCRMA that include) a stable, highly optimized rt-kernel?

Hey,
You got that exactly right. I'm trying to minimize my time and
effort from the time I start installing the new distribution to the
time that I can forget all the install and config work and get back
to music. Sure, I could use Linux From Scratch, but it's not going
to meet the goal of getting back to music quickly.
Although your dead right there, that was my exacty thought today:
I wonder should I try and do a LFS build & optimize for audio...
I've decided im going to do it, but after exams are over.. (monday :-)
Ill post if I ever get something useful!
