It depends on the nature of the sensing device and the need for the Unix program to respond to real-time input with real-time output. For example, if the requirement is just to absorb high-speed asynchronous line data, the RT will work very well; the machine can take several lines at full speed without losing characters. However, if the Unix program must respond in real time with control information, the RT does not improve on Unix's inadequate real time behavior. There are, in fact, even more sources for real-time delays in AIX than in other Unix systems, due to VRM low level processing of, for example, 286 coprocessor board handling.
