I agree, but for the record, 'nice' and scheduling are no panacea in my
experience. It's fine for CPU loads, but compilations are also disk-heavy
(which mattered when I used a spinning disk) and sometimes RAM-heavy (-j8 on
my pet C++ project uses 2GB of RAM, which could push other programs I'm
using into swap).

Have you tried using ionice?
I think I tried ionice once, but now I have an SSD that's fast enough
that I wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Does it work well for you?
