Post subject:  Playing with Nice values with Folding at home.
Hey guys,

Before I get started I just want to tell you guys how appreciative I am of the work you guys do on the forum and the wiki - this really has been a valuable resource for %95 of the problems I dealt with when putting together my mythtv box.

That being said I have one small issue I’m trying to address because I would really like to contribute to the F@H team to help reimburse you guys for the effort you guys have put into helping people. (Yeah, I know reimbursing someone else for some work that you did isn’t really reimbursing someone at all - but it’s really all I can do)

The problem is I have another process that runs as nice and it seems that top is reporting that the two processes are sharing the time 50/50. Is there any way to adjust the nice value of folding at home to make it less of a priority then my encoding script?

Thanks in advance guys.

What type of processor are you using? Is it hyperthreaded?

What nice level is it running at?

Hey, figured it out. Changed the script that re encodes my video so that its nice value was 9.

Hopefully thats high enough.
