Scanning bug reports, I met the "killer" package introduced in 2008. Of course, it was not installed in Etch, and thus not added by simple upgrading (what other packages have to been added?).

In worst case this can mean that you have to wait 1 hour until CPU is released. Is anybody using AND (auto nice daemon) additionally, or is it better just to adjust the timing of the cronscript?
