Is there a way to make the emerge command only use system resources that are not requested by anything else? Whenever I 'emerge sync' or emerge a package my system slows way down and the sound sometimes stutters badly. I'd rather have the emerge process just move really slowly if necessary. I'm using PORTAGE_NICENESS="19" in /etc/make.conf and it helps but not enough.
