Subject: Using renice to boost performance of Koffice
X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=koffice&m=101228524608192

Hi:

 I would like to know if it is feasible to reset 'renice' to -1 ot -2 for 
certain processes in KDE / Koffice to boost the response of programmes and 
in particular Konqueror. I noticed that my CPU is hardly used in normal 
desktop operations like writing a letter or using Kspread. I did that by 
watching the bar graph in KPM. What FAQ's/tutorials should I read to 
determine what processes should be reniced to increase the performance?  I 
am speaking of the articles posted at the KDE developers website. I have 
reniced kdeint:kicker, kdeint:kdesktop, kdeinit:dcopserver, kmserver and 
kdeinit:konqueror to -1. Is this a bad idea? It does not seem to harm 
anything. It seems to me that it would be desirable to boost some of these 
processes, if you are always going to use your Linux as a desktop OS. I 
appreciate any guidance on this matter.
