As a datapoint, I have a one week old (2000-05-18) CURRENT box that runs
setiathome all day every day.  When builds kick in, setiathome gets
relagated to the single-digit percentiles in top's display of CPU users.
This is only true when serious building is happening; those aspects of
the build that I can imagine are more I/O than CPU intensive give
setiathome a fighting chance.

Ciao,
Sheldon.
