The scheduling of nice processes seems to be broken:

team2# nice -7 sh -c "while :; do echo -n;done" &
team2# nice -7 sh -c "while :; do echo -n;done" &
team2# sleep 120; top -S

  PID USERNAME   PRI NICE   SIZE    RES STATE  C   TIME   WCPU    CPU COMMAND
  675 root       133   -7  1576K   952K CPU1   1   1:52 75.78% 75.78% sh
  676 root       133   -7  1576K   952K RUN    1   1:39 73.44% 73.44% sh
   12 root       -16    0     0K    12K RUN    0  18:46 55.47% 55.47% idle: cpu0
   11 root       -16    0     0K    12K RUN    1   7:00  0.00%  0.00% idle: cpu1


Adding a third nice process eliminates the idle time, but cpu% is still bad:

team2# nice -7 sh -c "while :; do echo -n;done" &
team2# sleep 120; top -S

  PID USERNAME   PRI NICE   SIZE    RES STATE  C   TIME   WCPU    CPU COMMAND
  705 root       133   -7  1576K   952K CPU0   0   1:53 100.78% 100.78% sh
  675 root       133   -7  1576K   952K RUN    1  12:12 51.56% 51.56% sh
  676 root       133   -7  1576K   952K RUN    1  11:30 49.22% 49.22% sh
  729 root        76    0  2148K  1184K CPU1   1   0:00  0.78%  0.78% top
   12 root       -16    0     0K    12K RUN    0  24:00  0.00%  0.00% idle: cpu0
   11 root       -16    0     0K    12K RUN    1   7:00  0.00%  0.00% idle: cpu1


The box is a dual P133 running -current from 8th Dec.
