'Real Time' vs. 'Real Fast' How to Choose?
Although "real time is not real fast" makes a nice sound bite, it does not help developers much. This paper will provide the background needed to make a considered design choice between "real time" (getting started as quickly as possible) and "real fast" (getting done quickly once started) Of course, some developers and their users will have the natural human tendency to want both "real time" and "real fast" so this paper concludes with some thoughts on how real time Linux might continue to move in this direction.
