That's why there's the "renice" command, no?
renice doesn't renice children of whatever you're renicing, does it? It'd be a PITA to renice fink, the fink that fink spawns, 5 different "make" sub-children, the shells those makes run, and so on...
I usually do 'renice 10 -g $PGID' where $PGID is column 4 from 'ps ajx | grep fink'.
This tells renice to change the priority of everything in that process group, which tends to DWIM when sudo creates a new process group for the compilation.
