I read Ingo's O(1) scheduler comments from kernel source. Process' nice is dynamically adjusted -5...+5 based on how it has behaved in past. So, I first tested with nice -5. Interactivity was OK with that. I kept increasing priority until bad interactivity appeared at nice -10, so I chose -9. Temporary bad interactivity still appeared at -9, but at -10 it was sustained bad interactivity.
