Ah, you're right. I misread the define and saw "IO" inside "PRIO" and my brain fixated on that. :) I actually think it could possibly have a similar problem though if the scheduler never gave the process time if another one was pegging the CPU. Maybe Robert could shed a little light on this, he's the resident kernel expert. :) Joe _______________________________________________ Dashboard-hackers mailing list Dashboard-hackers@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dashboard-hackers
