[NBLUG/talk] [WLUG] Azureus

[jim stockford]

renice 5 xxxx might work, too. i.e. you might find
some optimal value less than 10 (but greater
than 0; you might also try values greater than 10,
up to 20, though 20 might be so nice as not to
run at all or much too slow; negative values let
processes claim more CPU time rather than less).
