  Description     : daemon controlling how the kernel spends resources on running processes

Ulatency is a daemon that controls how the Linux kernel will spend it's
resources on the running processes.
.
The Linux scheduler does a pretty good job to give the available resources to
all processes, but this may not be the best user experience in the desktop case.
ulatencyd monitors the system and categorizes the running processes into cgroups.
Processes that run wild to slow down the system by causing massive swaping will
be isolated.
.
It strongly supports the lua scripting language for writing rules and the
scheduler code.
