- Well, what about just changing the niceness of the compile, wouldn't that
- have a similiar effect? I realize it would just give the compile process
- less process time, and not actually suspend it, but it would allow for you
- smaller tasks to run faster. Seems to have about the same effect,
- actually I seem to think it would be better this way, since then the
- compile is still running unlike a suspended job.
