So you want it to schedule that big image (Evolution) that's already used 5 minutes of CPU since it started (this morning, admittedly) in preference to that cc1 process that will be gone before it's used 2 seconds of CPU, plus all the disk I/O that cc1 performs (hopefully the cache will help here, but it may indeed go to disk to read the source files)?
