Haven't been running ULE for a while, because I was till having slight
sticky mouse problems. This is no longer the case when I tried it again
yesterday.

However as reported by Sean nice processes (+20) are not behaving
nicely. With a niced -j2 make kernel in the background, my keyboard
interactivity is badly affected (mouse is not affected however). I am
not however experiencing any problems with sound. Usage is mainly for
general desktop/development use.

Repeating this test with 4BSD, overall interactivity feels slightly
slower, no problems with keyboard, and most importantly non-niced
processes are not being affected much by the nice +20 kernel build.

hardware: dual p3-450
workload: general gnome desktop + kernel build (niced -20)
other   : libkse threading as default

Even with nice problem, the overall improved interactivity and
non-sticky mouse makes ULE better by default for my usage now.
