Agreed, but to answer the original question anyway: you can run the
search code as a realtime process (SCHED_FIFO or SCHED_RR scheduling
policy). See "man sched_setscheduler". I don't know of a standard
utility that can set the scheduling policy for you, so you might need
to write a short program that calls sched_setscheduler.
