I remember seeing a man page for the flog command, which flogged your
processes to make them go faster... I actually implemented something
like this a while ago -- ^F increased your priority somewhat and
increased (made worse) the nice value also (the process eventually gets
tired), and the scheduler averaged priorities over a few seconds... It
never really worked well though...
