That's stupid. Renicing X to level -10 will cause the scheduling give more priority to X, so when X actually has to do something, it'll be scheduled before other processes running at lower priorities. As a sidenote, I'm getting fed up with the level of discussions going up here. I always thought the gentoo distribution is meant for the power user, not for the plain brave user (the difference is that the power user has both the experience and the _knowledge_ to do what he/she wants). Appearently at least the gentoo-user list is filled with people mostly coming from the 'huh what's /proc, nevermind, let's emerge -ep world again with -O9' part. That's getting a bit boring.. Anyway, have fun with gentoo.. I'll do the same, but off-list. Good luck, Christopher ps. if the above doesn't fit you, dont take it.. it wasn't meant for direct offense to anyone on the list. -- .Digital.Yearning.for.Networked.Assassination.and.Xenocide -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
