Brian Feldman once stated: => Once again - HOW I can limit CPU usage by *kernel* ? Also, I've just => tried set maxprocesses 5. And it helpless. With 5 processes limit => user was able to slow down P2-450 computer. Switching between windows => in X was VERY slow. Mouse movements was slow down too.
=> CPU states: 32.3% user, 0.0% nice, 67.2% system, 0.0% interrupt, 0.5% idle =If you want to preempt other tasks, make that user's tasks niced!! Which user? You don't know until it happens...
