I regularly use an sgi machine which is mainly used for cpu intensive graphics applications. My jobs run in the background and number crunch. Even when I nice my processes as much as possible, there is a noticable drop in performance in interactive work. Is there any way to eliminate this? I could envision the swapper swapping out processes when an interactive job is running; is this configurable? Any help would be very much appreciated.
