I did not mean to discourage people from making their own evaluations. Maybe I did not word it correctly. The article starts with questioning best practices for implementing real-time processing threads. The statistical analysis presented in the article is based on a single workload and a single machine, which in my opinion does not help to answer this question. |

I agree that the empirical technique could be better, but the experiment is neat even if slightly flawed.
If the author wanted to show how much memory allocation could be done in an audio thread, they should construct an audio workload where they can tune the allocation and memory access patterns and then determine exactly how much is too much. But really that was the motivation, then as they admit in the start, they got nerd sniped and started measuring DOOM memory allocations (also fun). We should ignore the original motivation unless one uses a completely different experiment to justify something that wasn't tested.
