I mean "Soft Real-Time":
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real-time_computing#Hard.2C_firm.2C_and_soft_real-time
So, I actually do care about two parameters:
1) "Real-timeness" - i.e. whether using of this primitive can
introduce unexpected delays into execution.
2) Latency and throughput - if "real-timeness" requirement is met,
then I want to know how well performance of the primitive is.

Is there information about what is the biggest latency-injector in GnuRadio?

That's what I try to do right now - evaluate whether GnuRadio can
perform well enough in general :)
I probably spent too much time developing VoIP media processing where
you can hear every "non-realtimness" with your ears. But RF processing
should be no less real-time, imho.
