If the realtime task is something like a video decoder feeding a
display, and it is bandwidth-throttled only to ensure things like SSH
and filesystem I/O are still available, then I have to agree with Sen,
you would want any "spare" CPU to go the video decoder in that
application, not the idle task.

The RT scheduler is used for lots of different systems which you
haven't considered.

For your application, probably the way RT-bandwidth works is not
useful.  It's better for some other applications.
