- I regularly use an sgi machine which is mainly used for cpu
- intensive graphics applications. My jobs run in the background and
- number crunch.
-
- Even when I nice my processes as much as possible, there is a
- noticable drop in performance in interactive work. Is there any way
- to eliminate this? I could envision the swapper swapping out
- processes when an interactive job is running; is this configurable?
-
-
- Any help would be very much appreciated.
