>Description:
Running the distributed.net-client dnetc on several machines I noticed that also the client should only numbercrunch when no other processes need cpu these other processes are slowed down - sometimes drastically.

Also if all dnetc-processes are running with PRI >130 the only solution for me to get the expected behaviour (pause numbercrunching when other processes need CPU) was to idprio 31 -PIDs_OF_DNETC.

Before switching to the ULE scheduler I cannot remember that.
>How-To-Repeat:
Compare time for compiling a larger port with and without a running dnetc.
>Fix:
Add something like

  idprio 31 -PIDs_OF_DNETC

into /usr/local/etc/rc.d/dnetc?
