Well, I mean, we can't use 'nice' to grant less priority for the I/O intensive app, because the I/O intensive app itself doesn't need a lot of CPU. Instead, the I/O-bound app eats all the available I/O bandwidth, that's a different issue. -Andrea -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
