I have myself yet only partly understood a way to implement the usage of
cgroups to grant realtime privilege. A plus, security wise, is that
applications can be listed, so that only they are granted realtime
privilege.
Haven't done any testing yet, so not sure how practical this would be.
The example I saw did require the usage of a group, though, but perhaps
there is a way to not need it.

Other methods, I don't know of. And I don't know of anyone using any
either.

I'm looking to solve this problem as universally as possible, and in any
way I know how that works. So, anyone have any good ideas?
