Hi: My system spends a lot of its time processing video data, often with not much numerical processing involved - just remuxing or making an iso image. atop often shows disk activity above 90%. I do most of this using ionice -c3, (ie 'idle' scheduling) which is supposed to reduce impact on other tasks. The man page says "The impact of idle io processes on normal system activity should be zero" and certainly under f12 that seemed at least approximately true; but under f13 terminal response is often very sluggish when these tasks are running. Using kde 4.5.3, scheduling elevator=deadline (as in f12). Am I expecting the right thing? Does anyone else see this?
