I'm not sure I follow here.  The Parrot VM is not designed for real time
operation, and it cannot provide timing guarantees for several reasons
(most importantly, our stop-the-world garbage collector).  Without
multitasking, Parrot cannot be used to control other systems that do
depend on real time.  So, what role is left for Parrot to fill?
