+Disabling and suppressing
+-------------------------
-In some circumstances, you may want to suppress error reporting in a specific scope.
+There are multiple ways to suppress error reporting when using RealtimeSanitizer.
-In C++, this is achieved via ``__rtsan::ScopedDisabler``. Within the scope where the ``ScopedDisabler`` object is instantiated, all sanitizer error reports are suppressed. This suppression applies to the current scope as well as all invoked functions, including any functions called transitively.
+In general, ``ScopedDisabler`` should be preferred, as it is the most performant.

I wonder whether the word "Suppresses" is a bit loaded in this context and could lead the reader down the wrong path a little. I worry the user might put this in the same mental box as the suppressions file. Perhaps that's not a problem.
How about something more like "- All violations are ignored for the lifetime of the disabler"?
