It's currently using about 10%, maybe a bit more.  I expect
it to get heavier as I add more to it.  I have hopes of it
continuing to work even at 60 to 80% of CPU.

I haven't tried nice -20 because I don't want the priority to
drift or change, which is something that I thought the normal
levels did.  I'll give it a go though, and report back.

Cheers,

Andrew
