Yes, it's usually done via nice/renice commands: |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
renice -n -10 -p `pgrep mpd` |
| 12 |
|

You can tune it's priority up to -20 (most real-time priority). |

|
| 15 |
I'd suggest looking at load-average it generates ("top" shows it, at the |
| 16 |
top)) first. |
| 17 |
After running mpd for 15 minutes or so, if any of the three (5/10/15) |
| 18 |
will go above number of physical CPU cores you have (and that's |
| 19 |
probably the case if you see full load at any given time), tuning it's |
| 20 |
priority up will make the rest of the system extremely sluggish, since |
| 21 |
mpd won't let any other process to execute and just doing "ls" may take |
| 22 |
ages, not to mention whole X operation... |
