Any help? None. The kernel renices processes that do ioperm()/iopl() automatically in an attempt to make interactive I/O much better. You can't configure it as it is hard coded into the kernel itself. Personally, I've always been against this kernel modification, and thought it was an ugly solution to the problem, but it was done to improve interactive performance as I've said above. Since then, quite recently, this patch was removed from the kernel (YaY!), and now things are as they were before. I do not know if a kernel has been erratumed with this or not, but the rawhide kernel definitely does not have this hack anymore. Hope this helps. -- Mike A.
