It seems to be better than v7 here without X being reniced,

On my box renicing X to -10 causes xmms to skip when i switch
to a next page full of text in xpdf.
This is about mainline, not sure about your patch.

And yes, my box is p3-500.

So i generally don`t think it`s wise to renice X to -10.


Well I won't say it won't happen with my patch, but nice is a lot
nicer. Give it a try.

No, it wouldn't be wise to renice X to -10 if it caused it to
starve xmms. I don't think that will happen in my version, so I
think it is reasonable to renice X if you know it will have to
do more work than other tasks and yet should still be scheduled
quickly for good interactivity...
