Sorry if this has been discussed before; I can't seem to find an archive for
this list.
Do any of the available speed governors take process priority into account?
E.g., I'd like to run Folding@Home in the background on my machine. I want it
to run at low priority, and get 100% of the CPU when the machine is otherwise
idle. But, I don't want the CPU's speed to increase because of this one busy
process. On the other hand, if I'm doing any other CPU-intensive work, I want
the CPU speed to increase as usual.
I.e., I'd like to be able to run these CPU-intensive background jobs but not
at max speed/max power consumption.
