Roman, please do me a favor, and ask me the following question: " Ingo, you've been maintaining the scheduler for years. In fact you wrote the old nice code we are talking about here. You changed it a number of times since then. So you really know what's going on here. Why does the old nice code behave like that for nice +19 levels? " I've been waiting for that obvious question, and i _might_ be able to answer it, but somehow it never occured to you ;-) Thanks, Ingo - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
