Comment 17 for bug 177713

Well, if this is by design, then I guess I need a new method of running folding@home -- whether I run it as root or as a new user, even at IDLEPRIO and +19, the folding@home 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.
