Subject:   Weird differences in rc5 behavior on -current vs. -stable
Message-ID:  <37BF5C55.519542EF@gorean.org>

	I have a 3.2-Stable and a 4.0-Current system at home, both running rc5des.
On both systems I set the priority in the rc5 options menu to '0',
indicating lowest possible priority. On the -Stable system it's running at
nice level '0', but it seems to be taking advantage of the idprio stuff
since in general my system seems much "snappier," than when I was running
2.2.8 on the exact same machine. On the -current box rc5des shows up as
nice level 20, and although it's a pretty snappy system (this is my
workstation machine with a celeron 300A and lots of ram) I thought the
difference to be pretty strange. The rc5des.ini files for both machines are
identical (except for the random value). 

	Also, when rc5des runs on the -current system I get this:

ps -ax | grep rc5des
59048  p0  S      0:00.02 _su -m -c /usr/local/distributed.net/rc5des
-quiet (c
59062  p0  RN     0:01.63 /usr/local/distributed.net/rc5des -quiet

whereas on the -stable system there is no ghost su process. This is with
the latest version of rc5 installed from the ports. 

	These aren't major problems, but it's often the small things like this
that indicate an area of concern elsewhere, so I thought I'd mention it. 

Doug
