Re: X under heavy load



Marc,

I don't know exactly what you are using but I can tell you that I frequently do computationally demanding tasks in my work desktop and home laptop (both running Debian Sarge) and X continues working fine. While I'm waiting I frequently browse the web without major changes in speed. Maybe your program is "X intensive"...

Hi,

if I put my 500 Mhz machine under heavy load, X doesn't respond anymore. Actually it works, but it's much to slow. I want to do some hard calculations in background AND use X. I guess this should be possible, shouldn't it? I tryed to use nice 20 heavy-load-process but this didn't help a bit. Is process scheduler of Linux just crap? Is this a problem of X? What should I try next?

Thanks
Marc
