AFAIK, it won't benefit audio/midi processing, it might even delay it
slightly, but note slightly...  It's purpose is to provide accounting
information, that is to say to help profile interrupt handlers.  I have
it turned off on the archlinux -rt kernel as I try to track the distro's
main kernel as closely as I can, and just enable or disable the few
options that are really relevant to getting good -rt performance.
