Maybe.  Depends on what JACK clients you run (they all get mlocked).

Ardour takes up quite a lot of space.  If you're willing to grant the

max priority (100), your system is probably a dedicated audio

workstation, so you might just as well make memlock "unlimited".
There is also the -m (--no-mlock) JACK option that disables memory

locking even with the -R (--realtime) option.
