| 7 | This box is an i5 with four single-threaded CPUs and I limit the average |
| 8 | load to 8. Since emerge is running at niceness=3 the desktop remains |
| 9 | responsive throughout. I used not to limit the load at all and KDE was still |
| 10 | fine to work with. I sometimes think that with modern systems there's no need |
| 11 | to impose limits of my own since the kernel can cope well by itself. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | In fact I'm going to remove the load limit and see how I get on. |
