This is a very common misconception, but still just as wrong.  Realtime 
has nothing to do whatsoever with the length of any particular interval 
of time.  It doesn't matter if your deadline is coming every 50 
nanoseconds or once a year.  If there's a deadline, and it's defined as 
a point fixed in time, then you're doing realtime processing.

Nor is the distinction between soft and hard realtime to be found in the 
timescales involved, but in the gravity of consequences if you miss a 
deadline.

In other words, realtime is about whether there _is_ a "too late", not 
_when_ that might be.
