Hi, all. I have a laptop that has 2 AMD CPUs. I started 2 lzma compression processes with nice +10 and +20. Then, I started to compile a port, qemu. Back in SCHED_4BSD time, whenever I build a port while compression was running with nice +20, build used take most of CPUs and very little to nice +20 processes. The build process was slow, for example, when it was running configure where lots of processes were created. However, when a large C file was being compiled, it took most of CPU away from nice +20 processes. When I suspended one of the compression, build speeds up significantly. It looked process generation had less priorities than nice +20s. I tested on 7.1-RELEASE and it happens there, too. Could someone take a look?
