:That has nothing to do with it. Not for cpu usage. If you have two users that

    ... and if one user is *supposed* to be running all those processes, then
    what?  Oh, let me guess:  Now you are supposed to tune each user's account
    independantly.  For a system with general user accounts, this is a burden
    on the sysop.

    If one can't control one's users, one has no business managing them.  The
    last thing FreeBSD needs is some overly complex, sophisticated scheduler
    designed to help bozo sysops stay on their feet.
