It's not strictly true that the rt-patchset is meant to give faster response times. It provides bounded response times. You get a guarantee that some code can run within the time frame that you specify. That's not necessarily faster.

I was at a meeting with people that were doing signal processing in "embedded" environments. They said the patch slowed them down a lot. They got better performance and more determanism even, by pinning processes to cores using prior knowledge.
