Killing them was the right decision.  Thank you.  Like all my cfarm batch
testing, the processes had setpriority(PRIO_MAX).  Perhaps I/O load remained
high enough to ruin things.

I have, since 2015-07, other resource-intensive batch testing ongoing within
cfarm machines.  While I took steps from the start to reduce harm to other
users, I am interested in reducing it further.  If any of you experience
unacceptable performance while a user=nm process is running, please contact me
with the symptoms you witness.
