hi,

please remember that 'nice' is not a magical fix for programs that use too much CPU. if a program uses a lot of CPU, it should be reniced; but that doesn't mean that you can use as much CPU as you like as long as you renice it.

if you write a tool that uses 50% CPU constantly, you are using 6.25% of the total available CPU on the Toolserver for yourself. if everyone did this, we could only support 16 users before running out of CPU. we have a lot more than 16 users, so please be considerate, and monitor your CPU use.
