    Haven't been running ULE for a while, because I was till having slight
    sticky mouse problems. This is no longer the case when I tried it again
    yesterday.

    However as reported by Sean nice processes (+20) are not behaving
    nicely. With a niced -j2 make kernel in the background, my keyboard
    interactivity is badly affected (mouse is not affected however). I am
    not however experiencing any problems with sound. Usage is mainly for
    general desktop/development use.

    Repeating this test with 4BSD, overall interactivity feels slightly
    slower, no problems with keyboard, and most importantly non-niced
    processes are not being affected much by the nice +20 kernel build.

    hardware: dual p3-450
    workload: general gnome desktop + kernel build (niced -20)
    other : libkse threading as default

    Even with nice problem, the overall improved interactivity and
    non-sticky mouse makes ULE better by default for my usage now.
