I noticed that even if I nice my compile jobs to 20, my desktop still lags significantly. It might not be related, but while hunting potential causes I noticed strange issue with load stats:
~:# while true; do echo "foo" > /dev/null; done 33.1%Sys 1.2%Intr 65.7%User 0.0%Nice 0.0%Idl ~:# while true; do nice -n 20 echo "foo" > /dev/null; done 33.3%Sys 44.2%Intr 21.9%User 0.6%Nice 0.0%Idl Just wrong stats? I didn't notice any obvious error at first glance in the kern/kern_clock.c, so anyone has ideas what's going on? -- Hasso
