Just via some instrumenting, I can see that a real-time task never begins throttling and this translates to a ~1ms reduction in worst case allocation on a fast machine latency under extreme page dirtying and writeback (basically, I cannot reproduce any variation in page allocation, now, for a real-time test app). So it works.
But I do not have any real world test to confirm a benefit, which is what matters. Have you poked and prodded?
