    Hi All,

    Was wondering if there was a system tunable parameter that would
    change the default priority for "user" processes?

    It appears that priority 19 is what all user processes get started
    at, and these get "niced" at some point if the process takes too
    much of the cpu, etc.

    But I'd like to be able to change the default of 19 to something
    lower, and was hoping this was tunable with the Kernel Tuner.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks,

    Jim
