would work. But Linux doesn't allow a non-root process to increase its scheduling priority (and of course people shouldn't run Wine as root), so it mostly seemed to just be an exercise in futility, and that's why I think nobody has bothered. And I don't expect this toimprove...
Hmmm ... it seems to me that's exactly what they say: From the renice man page: Users other than the super-user may only alter the priority of processes they own, and can only monotonically increase their ``nice value'' within the range 0 to PRIO_MAX (20). (This prevents overriding administrative fiats.) The super-user may alter the priority of any process and set the priority to any value in the range PRIO_MIN (-20) to PRIO_MAX. BUGS Non super-users can not increase scheduling priorities of their own pro cesses, even if they were the ones that decreased the priorities in the first place. From the setpriority man page: The setpriority call sets the priorities of all of the specified processes to the specified value. Only the super-user may lower priorities.
Do yours say anything other? David
