Changing the priority doesn't really do anything to reduce load on the machine - it just means that those processes will be treated as less important when competing for CPU time. If there's nothing else running, there's no competition, so they'll still get all the CPU time they can. However, changing from -j2 to -j1 (or removing it entirely) may help, since only one process will be wanting CPU time at once. Simon.
