I still haven't seen any replies, so I'm resending with a few more people directly in the TO list. The timeslice of a SCHED_RR process currently varies with nice level the same way that it does for SCHED_OTHER. I've included a small app below that demonstrates the issue. So while niceness do

Apparently the timeslice of the SCHED_RR process varies with nice level the same way that it does for SCHED_OTHER. So while niceness doesn't affect the priority of a SCHED_RR task, it does impact how much cpu it gets. SUSv3 indicates, "Any processes or threads using SCHED_FIFO or SCHED_RR s
