How about you guys describe what you are trying to do? I can't speak for the others, but I suspect what they're trying to do is the equivalent of "nice -19" on other UNIXes, which means "run this task only if there are no tasks other than idle to run." Or this task should only be run if the system has absolutely NOTHING else (other than other tasks of the same priority) to do. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
