Will it run any better on Realtime and will it make the system less stable?
If you set it to real time, then the audio threads will have the ability to out prioritize even the mouse. So if that thread were saturating the CPU, you can't move the mouse until it is done. The best thing to do is understand why it behaving how it is, aka where the actual bottleneck is.
