I would renice all the threads to 19, as it was interrupting system responsiveness since bitcoind was taking priority, but every so often the program would automatically reset the priority to something that would disrupt system responsiveness ..<br/>so what I did was just edit util.h <br/>and change the function that manipulates the priority:<br/><br/>inline void SetThreadPriority(int nPriority)<br/>{<br/>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;printf("No, were not changing any damn priority ");<br/>}<br/><br/>and then recompiled bitcoind <br/><br/>now I just renice all the threads once, and they are stuck at what I set them to until program exit (NI column staying at 19):<br/><br/><div class="codeheader">Code:</div><div class="code"> &nbsp; 1 &nbsp;[||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||100.0%] &nbsp; &nbsp; Time: 03:59:40<br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;2 &nbsp;[||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||100.0%] &nbsp; &nbsp; Uptime: 253 days(!), 01:12:27<br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;Mem[||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||501/1255MB] &nbsp; &nbsp; Load: 4.01<br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;Swp[|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;501/1004MB] &nbsp; &nbsp; Load average: 4.01 4.15 3.49<br/>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; __ &nbsp; __ &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; __ &nbsp; __ &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;__ &nbsp;__ &nbsp; __ &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; __ &nbsp; __ &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; __ &nbsp; __ &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; __ &nbsp; __ &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; __ &nbsp;__ &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;__<br/>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;| &nbsp;| |__ &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; __| |__ &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; |__||__ &nbsp;|__| &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; | &nbsp;| | &nbsp;| &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; | &nbsp;| | &nbsp;| &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; | &nbsp;| | &nbsp;| &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;__| __| &nbsp; | &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; |<br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;Avg: &nbsp;|__|.|__|% sy: &nbsp;|__ . __|% ni: &nbsp;__||__|.|__|% hi: &nbsp;|__|.|__|% si: &nbsp;|__|.|__|% wa: &nbsp;|__|.|__|% &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Tasks: &nbsp;__| __| &nbsp; | total, &nbsp; &nbsp;| running<br/><br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;PID USER &nbsp; &nbsp; PRI &nbsp;NI &nbsp;VIRT &nbsp; RES &nbsp; SHR S CPU% MEM% &nbsp; TIME+ &nbsp;Command<br/><br/>&nbsp;4523 root &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;39 &nbsp;19 &nbsp;126M 46280 &nbsp;3424 S &nbsp;0.0 &nbsp;3.6 &nbsp;0:00.66 &nbsp;`- bitcoind -gen -daemon<br/>&nbsp;4534 root &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;39 &nbsp;19 &nbsp;126M 46280 &nbsp;3424 R 90.0 &nbsp;3.6 12:43.73 &nbsp;| &nbsp; `- bitcoind -gen -daemon<br/>&nbsp;4533 root &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;39 &nbsp;19 &nbsp;126M 46280 &nbsp;3424 R 45.0 &nbsp;3.6 10:49.02 &nbsp;| &nbsp; `- bitcoind -gen -daemon<br/>&nbsp;4532 root &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;39 &nbsp;19 &nbsp;126M 46280 &nbsp;3424 R 46.0 &nbsp;3.6 10:05.83 &nbsp;| &nbsp; `- bitcoind -gen -daemon<br/>&nbsp;4531 root &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;39 &nbsp;19 &nbsp;126M 46280 &nbsp;3424 S &nbsp;0.0 &nbsp;3.6 &nbsp;0:00.03 &nbsp;| &nbsp; `- bitcoind -gen -daemon<br/>&nbsp;4530 root &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;39 &nbsp;19 &nbsp;126M 46280 &nbsp;3424 S &nbsp;1.0 &nbsp;3.6 &nbsp;0:15.53 &nbsp;| &nbsp; `- bitcoind -gen -daemon<br/>&nbsp;4529 root &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;39 &nbsp;19 &nbsp;126M 46280 &nbsp;3424 S &nbsp;0.0 &nbsp;3.6 &nbsp;0:00.72 &nbsp;| &nbsp; `- bitcoind -gen -daemon<br/>&nbsp;4527 root &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;39 &nbsp;19 &nbsp;126M 46280 &nbsp;3424 S &nbsp;0.0 &nbsp;3.6 &nbsp;0:00.02 &nbsp;| &nbsp; `- bitcoind -gen -daemon<br/>&nbsp;4526 root &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;39 &nbsp;19 &nbsp;126M 46280 &nbsp;3424 S &nbsp;0.0 &nbsp;3.6 &nbsp;0:00.03 &nbsp;| &nbsp; `- bitcoind -gen -daemon<br/>&nbsp;4525 root &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;39 &nbsp;19 &nbsp;126M 46280 &nbsp;3424 S &nbsp;0.0 &nbsp;3.6 &nbsp;0:00.06 &nbsp;| &nbsp; `- bitcoind -gen -daemon<br/></div>in my debug.log: <br/><br/>[root@raidserv] (~/.bitcoin)# grep "No," debug.log<br/>No, were not changing any damn priority<br/>No, were not changing any damn priority<br/>No, were not changing any damn priority<br/>No, were not changing any damn priority<br/>...<br/><br/>So now I can leave bitcoind running all day long without me noticing much...<br/><br/><br/></div> text/html
