There's an ongoing discussion/debate between two very knowledgeable
and talented developers (plus a supporting cast) regarding the
real-time support in FreeBSD; it's happening on freebsd-arch@:

I suggest giving it a read if you are planning on deploying some
real-time process (or are interested in reading about FreeBSD
internals from some very knowledgeable people).
