Use renice to give DropStuff a speed boost

No, that's not quite true. When you renice a program to -20, it takes up as much of the processor as it can, but it *doesn't* block other applications from using the processor. They can still use it, and will. They'll run a bit slower, yes, but they *won't* stop running.

Don't put words in my mouth.
