compiz unresponsoive under heavy load

[Chris Jones]

Hi,

I'm running compiz just fine on my FC6 system. However, I have noticed that 
under load (such as running make, yum update, my email client running a mail 
check or just my web browser running a heavy site) compiz becomes very 
unresponsive and thus also the desktop.

I've also noticed that if I run the cpu heavy app. at an increased nice value, 
such as +15, compiz remains completely responsive whilst the apps runs pretty 
much at its usual speed.

Unfortunately, its not easy to run everything at an increased nice value, so I 
wonder therefore, if it wouldn't be a good idea to something to run compiz 
(and Xorg or whatever it needs) at increased scheduling priority by default, 
to make use the user desktop always remains responsive ?

cheers Chris
