Beware of
Authored by: barrysharp on Jan 20, '02 12:49:07AM

All UNIX systems employ the nice value associated with processes to provide the proper fast & timely attention by the CPU so that they can do their assigned work.

If this nice value assignment policy is disturbed by renice-ing some inappropriate processes just to speed them along it will be at your peril and could/may/will cause very undesirable side affects.

Be careful what you renice IMHO.
