There's a reason that everybody made fun of CmdrTaco for running distributed.net on his laptop in an episode of Geeks In Space.

Right. Let the scheduler do it's job. If you don't want your CPU pegged out, don't run any type of slopsucker process (distributed.net, [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], finding the largest prime number, etc). Slopsucker processes are designed to take up all your background CPU power for computationally intensive tasks that don't have a time deadline. Keep that in mind. - -- .''`.
