IMHO, when system load is high, administrator could freeze some of cpu-hogged tasks in favor of more important ones, once system is most likely to be idle, frozen tasks could be thaw back on line. I don't know this idea is right or wrong, can somebody give me some hints about practical usage of cgroup freezer? thanks -- I am a slow learner but I will keep trying to fight for my dreams! --bill
