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.
