Subject: [gentoo-user] PORTAGE_NICENESS for real
Date: Tue, 4 Apr 2006 17:13:20 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <49bf44f10604041713r52c33c7dx9379882400ba7544@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Is there a way to make the emerge command only use system resources
that are not requested by anything else?  Whenever I 'emerge sync' or
emerge a package my system slows way down and the sound sometimes
stutters badly.  I'd rather have the emerge process just move really
slowly if necessary.  I'm using PORTAGE_NICENESS="19" in
/etc/make.conf and it helps but not enough.
