Not really :) A lower priority wouldn't really speed things up.. :I

it does sound useful, yes.

(re)nice ;-) to see you as well 
(nope, no more pov crashes :)

Hm, should probably do something like that on X as well.. should be
easier since it leaves .pid files.. then perhaps a root cron job to exec
it once every 15 mins...

oh. while on the matter of X ... is there a way to restart the XFree86
server without killing all programs that run through it? I've noticed
that it does increase quite a lot in memory consumption after some use,
and running a long time task or such through it leaves you in a bit
bothered situation...
