Are you proposing doing that for all load-intensive applications? I would object to that. I seem to remember we have a tool that automatically stops a process if the load gets too high, maybe that would be useful here.. You should propose this on debian-devel though.. > A lot of programs start update-menus in the background upon installation.

That's not true, update-menu detect there is already a copy running and doesn't start a new one. Once dpkg is finished that single update-menu process will update all menus.
