Summary
All real-time systems need consistent performance. They differ in the precision they require and how offended they are at a missed deadline. The Real Time Specification for Java does not require that a conforming Java platform be unusually fast. It adds tools to Java to make it possible for a programmer to get consistent performance.
Nearly all systems benefit from consistent performance. This generalization includes the usual real-time systems. It also includes most commercial, industrial, recreational, and personal systems.
