The difference should only be noticable as X and other interactive tasks remaining responsive under heavy load. Audio skips are far less relevant any more. > numbers.

The wine/wineserver issue is an unusual one as you've described it, and at O11 the test I put in to determine a task is interactive by credits seems to select out the wrong one and keep that one elevated. Anyway most of this discussion is now moot as I've discussed with Ingo at length a lot of the little things I've found that help and I suspect he will develop his own, better solutions for them. Con
