No. [EMAIL PROTECTED] is designed to sponge as much resources as possible.
There's a reason that everybody made fun of CmdrTaco for running
distributed.net on his laptop in an episode of Geeks In Space. ("Rob
runs dnetc on a battery powered PC," Hemos said while laughing hard
after CmdrTaco bitched about crappy battery life on his laptop).

Right. Let the scheduler do it's job. If you don't want your CPU
pegged out, don't run any type of slopsucker process (distributed.net,
[EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], finding the largest prime number, etc).
Slopsucker processes are designed to take up all your background CPU
power for computationally intensive tasks that don't have a time
deadline. Keep that in mind.
