Just nicing the server process may well be enough, depending on your situation. If it works, that's great. However, some C++ compile jobs can use hundreds of megabytes of RAM. If a small-medium workstation is trying to build a couple of these it can cause other jobs to be pushed out of memory, which might disturb an interactive user. In my experience it's not so bad -- just a bit of disk IO and a pleasant feeling that you're helping your colleagues. If you are just editing source when the jobs hit then it has very little impact. But I can imagine for some users who have more or larger jobs, or run memory-intensive local work it would be annoying. -- Martin
