at least on ubuntu (most likely on all modern linux distros) there is no
need to be root for doing realtime stuff anymore. 

follow:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudioPreparation

(especially the paragraph "Real-Time Support")

i didn't expect that, but it seems, that being real root makes the
situation worse. i assume, that pd is blocking out some other processes,
that pd has to wait for afterwards. it's good to know, that being root
can raise such issues.
