    Subjectpaging and nice()
    From the HP-UX 10 release notes:

    #begin
    * The nice() system call influences how aggressively the pager will
    steal pages from a process. The "more nice" the process is, the more
    likely it is that the pager will steal its pages. The HP-UX 9.0 pager
    treats all processes equally, and the nice() command is used to modify
    process priority in relation to CPU usage. In 10.x, process priority
    can also affect how much of the process stays in memory, thereby
    improving system response time for processes that are not "niced." For
    more information on nice, refer to the nice(1) manpage.
    #end

    Does Linux do something similar? If not, is it worth considering?
