j"1LAnZuoQdcKCkpDBKQMCgziGMoPC4VQUckMÃ<div class="post">knightmb - just curious, if you check not just the main process, but all the thread processes (ps -eflL | grep bitcoin - need the L, or else it will just show the main process), do you see the other thread processes change the priority after a little while ? When I change the priority or renice, it will just stick for the main process, but some of threads will change priority everytime it goes to the generate coin function..<br/><br/>there may be some confusion in thinking that nice is working in that if people dont use -L to list all threads, they just see the PID of the main process, and think that the nice/renice has worked, when in fact the 2 subthreads that are maxing the CPU are the ones that are changing the priority back..<br/><br/>I myself just ripped out the whole priority changing function, so that whatever priority I set sticks permanently..<br/><br/>my post about ripping out priority change function is in : <a href="http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=72.0">http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=72.0</a><br/>also shows the whole process tree.. in that code pasting, the main process would stay to whatever you nice/renice to, but 2 of the threads would change back, until i ripped out the function<br/><br/>also <a href="http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=285.0">http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=285.0</a> describes the bug with bitcoin changing the threads to use the highest priority instead of lowest</div> text/html
