As kcryptd is not a child process of par2, it does not inherit its niceness value, I understand - but it is a real nuisance.
Can this situation be changed?
Have you tried renicing kcryptd? I googled and saw one or two mailing list posting where people had reniced kcryptd to 0.
No, I haven't... It is a hack, and can't be easily automated. And meddling with a kernel process sounds a bit scary: if it has a negative niceness must be for some reason I don't know about :-? Anyway, I just tried, I used "top" to find out which of the several kcrypt processes was using most cpu and reniced it. First to 0, then to 5, to see if it showed in the graph in green - it doesn't, it shows as a system process, obviously. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
