Description Forgotten User --EoyBps8f 2007-07-29 12:33:11 UTC 
Especially on older machines CPU-usage is crucial, e.g. during CD/DVD-burning or less important things like playing a game. It is not very smart to start a CPU-consuming process like zypp-checkpatch if there is no idle performance available.

Thus the CPU-usage should be checked before zypp-chepatch is started in order not to take away CPU from processes that are at that time more important to the user.
Comment 1 Marcus Meissner 2007-07-30 06:43:12 UTC 
perhaps it should be both niced and ioniced?
Comment 2 Duncan Mac-Vicar 2007-08-26 16:57:09 UTC 
Perhaps zypp-checkpatches could check for load and exit with a special code if the system is too busy.
