It should only adjust user processes. Sorry if it is doing the right thing, but [eg] pdflush has a prio of 100 currently.. In general usage (no load, X 4.3.0 + gnome 2.2.x), applications start up slower. Under a moderate load (make -j4) xmms will not skip but it fails the wiggle test. Renicing X to -10 (it was at 0 before) does not seem to help. [Machine is an Athlon 1200 (not a rating) with 384mb ram, ide disks with DMA enabled] Hope this helps, somehow :-) - Wade
