Everybody should use at least the word "nice" as the first word in the
command line when starting big jobs (e.g. on buds). Default nice-level is
10.
Even after having started a job, one can lower the cpu priority by typing
renice prio -p pid, where prio is a number between 0 and 20 corresponding
to the nice-level, and pid is the process id number of the user-owned process.
System administrators can use "renice" for any running process on the
machine.
