It's my understanding that nice() prioritization is effectively
meaningless on Darwin, at least according to several open-source
projects who specifically don't bother with nice()-ing when
__APPLE__ is defined. Was the scheduler changed to make this untrue
in 10.5?
Unless I'm very much mistaken, the last time I used it nice()
prioritisation seemed to work OK on OS X, so I'm not sure where
they're getting their information.
Kind regards,
Alastair.
