Either you're misunderstanding something, or that's a seriously misconfigured server. In general, processes which need a lot of CPU cycles should have a lower priority than those which need little. The relative "importance" of processes doesn't matter here. A system where the key process gets 95% CPU while support processes get the other 5% is preferable to one where the key process gets 100% CPU and support processes are suspended for long periods. -- Glynn Clements <glynn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-admin" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
