Well, 

on V0.5.16 i see something like the below output (which is much worse). It
seems that missed irq's with rtc show up at the same time as the xruns in
jackd do [i ran both jackd and wakeup in parallel].

While there's no way to deterministically force missed irq's by window
wiggling [we should make it olympic discipline :)], UI action seems to raise
the probability somewhat.
