dear all,

i created a kernel daemon thread using the SYSINIT().

i want that daemon thread to do more cpu 
intensive tasks and that's why
i want to give it more cpu time. 

my daemon thread get a priority of -84 and
 a nice value of 0.

i guess when the nice value is 0 it affects 
its scheduling. 

how could i give it a good nice value ?

are there any other options that i may 
have to look upon to ensure the daemon
gets more of the cpu time ??

thanks,

kamal
