A few notes on what you have done:

  * ionice doesn't affect network I/O.
  * renice does not set real-time priorities.
  * You don't do anything with memory locking.  What happens
    if memory in your program gets paged out then is required?
  * Something on the other end of the ping is running, too.  It
    also needs to be real-time, too, and it's not by default.

You forgot to mention that the real-time kernel is not automatically
overclocking the software in terms of performance (but providing
determinism).

Pinging localhost *should* be reasonably quick. It's basically a test of the scheduler and context switching (once all the memory is locked in place).
