The rtprio priorities are "hard" and processes running at rtprio are not swapped and always run before normal processes. "Nice" priorities only bias the scheduler. I sometimes play with audio processing, and find that when running X that the system doesn't give enough CPU to processes when moving windows around, etc. Setting the audio processing process with rtprio makes the problems totally go away.
