Then perhaps I'm confusing something here. In rl=5, top lists 'Xorg' - 
which I took to be X windows. It was consistently at .3 - .7% of cpu 
usage. In rl=3, it wasn't listed in top. So, am I confused?

I'm just looking to have every cpu cycle availible for the cruncher 
client while I'm not using the machine.
