Hey,

I was thinking if we should run all scripts in the build environment 
with "nice".
Any objections ?

It is probably a little bit slower, but I don't think that you will 
"feel" it.
It simply tells the system that other processes have a higher priority 
and so your system is more usable during a compile.

It's not worth the hassle, unless you specifically set priorities on
other processes you run.
