Obviously the sudo is unnecessary if you're root. You can use similar
aliases to run things as SCHED_ISO, which I do for mplayer, for example.
Or, more easilly, set the nicelevel to -19 (the lowest) which also amounts to
batch scheduling. Nicelevel -19 is treated as batch by default by the 2.6
kernel.
Erm, isn't that backwards? The lowest priority is 20. The highest is
-19. You have to be root for any priority < 0.

I would guess that Paul used the word "lowest" in a strictly numerical
sense, rather than priority-wise. By the way, my nice has a range of
-20 to 19.
