OK. Good to know that there are no kernel bugs with honoring ignore_nice_load setting. :) > Next question is: how and why does it get set? > As userland has not changed (AFAIK), my first suspect remains the kernel. > Kernel never sets this. It is initialized to 0 and provides a /sys interface to user. I think it is set by some user app (gnome-power-manager or some other app like that). That explains why it is 0 initially after boot and gets changed later. The support for ignore_nice_load=1 was broken in kernel for a short while (arounf 2.6.28, IIRC). That may be the reason why this behavior was not noticed earlier.
