myapp takes some time to die. Particularly, the memory it uses
isn't freed up instantly.
Has anyone considered actually bumping up the priority of the task being
killed so that it gets to run and free up its resources in a timely manner?
We've done some experimenting with actually putting it in SCHED_RR and
it seems to help (in the case of other busy SCHED_RR tasks on the
system). Admittedly we have an older kernel, so behaviour may be
different now.
