Well, if this is by design, then I guess I need a new method of running [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- whether I run it as root or as a new user, even at IDLEPRIO and +19, the [EMAIL PROTECTED] process still slows down other things on the system. The input lag is no longer present, and the process does show up as 'nice', but Compiz drops to half its framerate. It seems odd to me that a process cannot simply yield its CPU cycles to other processes regardless of user. Will I now have to arbitrarily assign a CPU time percentage to the user?
I also figured out the "is not in Linux" issue: my marked-as-duplicate bug had been attached to linux, I made a 'freudian slip' and reached this bug by the /+source/linux/ path, which is not attached to this 'boinc' bug at all. -- 2.6.24-2: Regression with idle cpu cycle handling https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/177713 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
