From personal experience with this sort of thing, I've found:
1) For almost everyone, the boost will be much smaller -- 3% to 5%
2) Be VERY CAUTIOUS when setting programs to Real Time Priority.  This gives
them higher priority than such things as the mouse, the keyboard, the disk
cache, and possibly much of the kernel.
