Unfortunately, the kernel has always been unable to really make a process transparent, especially concerning disk I/O's. For example, when you play a realtime game, any process requesting CPU time, though put at +19, makes a big difference. I don't know what are the exact figures, but I guess it's impossible to have a process eat less than 10-15% of the CPU even if you nice it to the extreme. -- Guillaume Cottenceau - http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~gc/
