Granted, but then why does the prioirty get set to 0 (lowest user definable priority) when started as a user? If its running as root then it should be able to set to -1 always? > GUI responsiveness is critically important.

Yes I know this. I was questioning in regard to someone who reported this as a bug on bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29900 , in regards to O(1) kernel schedulers. I guess the question is, is it essential to run at -1 or can we change this to run at priority 0?
