I can't speak much for the niceness levels. But you probably should use sched_get_priority_max() to get the maximum priority. Maybe it's not setting it as high as you think. or you can use sched_getscheduler to see the difference in priority between using setscheduler and nice.
Also you should read about the "goodness" value of the scheduling process. That's what sched_setscheduler (SCHED_{RR|FIFO}) is all about. Felipe -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel. Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/kernelnewbies/ FAQ: http://kernelnewbies.org/faq/
