I understand that the rtirq script is designed to raise rtprio for audio

I meant CONFIG_IRQ_FORCED_THREADING=y, of course..


 From my experience, I have not had any performance boost using the
rtirq script, but I have read about it helping those who are getting
xruns due to irq sharing.

So, I'm wondering. What picture do others have of the benefit of the
rtirq script?

..and are there other ways to measure improvement for audio operation
other than spotting xruns at different latency settings, and reading the
rtprio for various devices using the 'ps' command?
