HI!
mythcommflag and mythtranscode run at CPU nice level 17 when configured
for medium CPU usage.
How about additionally setting the IO priority class to "idle" (see
ionice manual)?
When I run for example mplex with nice 10 while recording with ivtv, I
get occasional IOBOUND errors. When I also set the IO class to "idle",
mplex does not cause IOBOUND errors. So, that should be good for MythTV
jobs, too IMHO.
Thanks!
Thomas
