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?

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?
