If you don't like it you can use the new scheduling options to
change it to something else. Bear in mind that diald works by
snooping the interface and watching packets. If it starts missing
packets it may not see a "significant" event such as a connection
opening or closing. If the system is heavily loaded or if there
is a high proportion of "ignored" packets it is, perhaps, useful
for diald to have a slight scheduling edge. It isn't going to
need *lots* of CPU time (unless your link is seriously fast and
mostly saturated) but it does want to keep latency down where
possible and grab packets in a timely manner.
