meetoo! I've noticed it helps with cpu allocation, but not with the
disk. If you're emerging something like sources, or openoffice, portage
still gets too much disk "time" and other processes suffer. nice
doesn't seem to affect disk access.
What I do is run emerge ---sync every night as a cron job. Then during
the day I run
"nice emerge -uDNav world" usually when reading email. CPU load maxes
out at around
50%.
