Again that means your system is badly designed or administered without
proper restraints such as nice and limits which are important for
other reasons. Pkill root owned processes are hardly demanding but quite
the opposite.
not-well designed services should be fixed.
Why should I HAVE to have any evil when I don't have ANY need for it
and have much more important things depending on the kernel to be secure.

they are doing!
