Just a thought -----
Programs like cp -a /bigdir /backup and rsync usually bring the server to a crawl no matter how much "nice" you put on them. Is there any way to make "nice" smarter in that it limits io as well as processor usage? If cp and rsyne ran a little slower IO wise then everything else could run too.
