Subject: Managing CPU usage when doing emerges
Date: Mon, 18 May 2009 11:26:10 -0400
I've been extremely busy lately and have let my updates get way behind.
Part of that is my need to keep kde-libs-3.5 on my system for K3b, etc,
part of that is just too much else to do.

The problem I've encountered is when I try to do an update while I'm
working, my system can slow to a crawl, on a big compile usually.  I've
tried using nice to manage how much CPU the compile gets so I can
function while it's building, but it's killing the output so I can't see
what's going on.

Is there another way to use nice, or to fix that problem?  Or another
way to manage CPU usage during an emerge?
