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?
