You can re-nice that job (I use +10) to run in the background so it

You lost me here, Dan: "Re-nice" is there a great mac app I'm missing.
From a post of mine back in January:
Transcoding is very cpu intensive, which can really slow your
system's response time. So I get the process going, then renice it
to +10. This essentially lowers its priority, so the system will
kick it to the curb faster when I start using the Mac for other
things. When I walk away from my Mac, I'm careful to sleep the
display or at least put the mouse in the "screen saver off" corner.
I'd rather the cpu time was given to ffmpeg or Sizzle than the screen
saver.
sudo renice +10 pid
