If your hypothesis is correct, it presents an interesting opportunity.
How to dynamically priortize (renice) processes that sporadically
run at the same time. 

:-(

A while back, (few months?) there was a discussion about how to
limit processor by settings in make.conf to restrict the load.
There were several approaches listed in the thread.
Maybe there's a scriptable (cron-able) solution on limiting
the load on the machine? I think you even contributed to
the thread?


Just a thought but I am most curious as to your solution,
should you 'embrace' the challenge....

;-)

hth,
James
