Running the distributed.net-client dnetc on several machines I noticed that also the client should only numbercrunch when no other processes need cpu these other processes are slowed down - sometimes drastically. Also if all dnetc-processes are running with PRI >130 the only solution for me to get the expected behaviour (pause numbercrunching when other processes need CPU) was to idprio 31 -PIDs_OF_DNETC. Before switching to the ULE scheduler I cannot remember that. Fix: Add something like idprio 31 -PIDs_OF_DNETC into /usr/local/etc/rc.d/dnetc? How-To-Repeat: Compare time for compiling a larger port with and without a running dnetc.

State Changed From-To: open->closed I've added a new option called dnetc_idprio. If you add dnetc_idprio=31 to your rc.conf you'll get the desired affect.
