Console priority on PI

[George Drettakis]

It seems that users are complaining that the Personal IRIS console does
not respond very well (as compared to other Workstations) when processes
are running in the background. Is there any parameter that can be tuned
to get a better response time for interactive shells and windows ?
Does this have anything to do with the size of NeWS and/or the swapping
algorithm ?

Any information welcome, thanks,
