I'm not sure whether the non-dash version of the word is more correct. What do you say, Warren?

Both uses are common, and probably already in our docs in many places. I lean towards the hyphenated version, although these can change the meaning like with compound words. Consider "high speed" in that same sentence. Should it be "high-speed"?

OK, then I think it is OK to change. We should probably create a word-list (like with the "file system", "filesystem" discussion), so that we can refer to it when similar questions come up.

Great, reason I went with it was because the Oxford Dictionary states:
"Computing relating to a system in which input data is processed within milliseconds so that it is available virtually immediately as feedback to the process from which it is coming, e.g. in a missile guidance system: real-time signal processing. real-time software."
