Scanning bug reports, I met the "killer" package introduced in 2008.
Of course, it was not installed in Etch, and thus not added by simple
upgrading (what other packages have to been added?).
So, I point myself here to

In worst case this can mean that you have to wait 1 hour until CPU is
released. Is anybody using AND (auto nice daemon) additionally, or is it
better just to adjust the timing of the cronscript?
