There is no "killer app", but there are killer categories.

Audio, video, 3D accelerated applications (video games) - all these are noticeable if they starve briefly.

Although assigning real time priority to all the applications will work, you can cause a denial of service on your own system and root access is required to set real time priorities without prior configuration.

That's too much risk and work for me, the lowly user.
