Does anybody know why the new Korn shell lowers the priority
of background processes?  I felt so betrayed by my own shell
when I first noticed this.  I feel old and wise enough to
decide which processes should run slow, and know which command
to use for that.  In particular, I like my xterm processes to
be run at a high priority, not a low one.
