Can't promise to have it today, though. > tried 7a. What I noticed first, is that the problem with rxvt eating up all cpu time is gone :) Also applications get less priorities (11-16). Can't say everything is very smooth, but somehow it makes very good impression. No really rough edges, but I have to admit I tried only pure cpu load (bash -c 'while :; do :; done'). Applications feel to start faster (subjective). X was/is not niced. Made the kernel to default boot for now, will see how it behaves. -alex
