You'll probably never get this working reliably with the RT kernel. Latencies
are more deterministic with the RT kernel but slightly higher. You'll have better
luck with a vanilla kernel running your app in run level 4. And then even better
luck running on an SMP machine isolating your process and IRQ to a single
processor. And stay away from the VGA console. You have better luck with
faster hardware too.
