The only time real-time per se matters is if you're playing the same content on multiple screens and *synchronization* matters.And there's the HFT where "real-time" really does matter :)
I think most of HFT crowd are buying into low-latency more as 'why not' than as technical necessity. Reducing latency of your switch from comparable of 200m of fibre (quite high latency) to 20m (rather low latency) seems to be very big and important thing. Yet at the same time one of the most relevant exchanges of them all is replicating multicast on MX trio hardware, which means unpredictable/unfair, high delay replication, which will completely abstract out any switch-level micro-optimization you may have gained. -- ++ytti
