Daniel, This makes sense but I've never heard of doing this before. How does one run emerge as a SCHED_BATCH process? None the less, when recording in Ardour I'll be doing a reasonable amount of disk I/O. Not so much bandwitch - probably never more than 5-10MB/S on large recordings, but still it's a large number of audio files and therefore more disk seeking, etc., so I'll want the whole disk subsystem working well.
