If so, that should have slowed X quite a bit. > Try "nice 19" instead. i did try "nice --20" too :) Resulted in long X stalls, but i don't think that's a reasonable load so I did not mention it. "nice -20 cmd" runs cmd at nice==19. Usage: nice [OPTION] [COMMAND [ARG]...] Run COMMAND with an adjusted niceness, which affects process scheduling. With no COMMAND, print the current niceness. Nicenesses range from -20 (most favorable scheduling) to 19 (least favorable). -n, --adjustment=N add integer N to the niceness (default 10)
