No, better not: It's dangerous, if your patch is buggy and pd runs
wild. I only use -rt during performances.

Regarding patco's problem with realtime mode: "chmod +s" is not a good
idea as it's a potentially big security hole opening up your system
for all kind of local exploits. 

And it's not necessary, if your system is set up correctly.  Correctly
means, that you need a current libpam (Ubuntustudio has it) and you
need to set up /etc/security/limits.conf accordingly.  Accordingly
means, have something like this in it: 

@audio         -       nice            -10
@audio         -       rtprio          99
@audio         -       memlock         -1

and your user needs to be in group "audio" then.

If even then, Pd's realtime mode isn't activated, then something much
deeper is wrong.

Ciao
