Why do you need this? Human is not hard real time. Mouse gets input from
your hand, monitor is watched by you. All delays below 10-50ms are
acceptable. You can get good priority by using soft RT (setting X priority
with "nice" or sched_setscheduler) and (very important) having lots of RAM.
X is slow sometimes, because programs are big and sometimes are swapped out.
