if you run beagle nice -n 19, and it throttles, the kernel will increase it's priority with... surprise, 19 points, thus it'll run as prio 0. better than -19 (yeah inverted blablabla) which would be the case without the nice, but still not what you want.
and even if it does run on +19, it STILL uses cpu, even when you do a game. a scheduler policy like sched_batch would ensure it NEVER interupts another running process - that's what you want.
and slocate, does that look in files as well? anyway, i'd rather have incremental updates like beagle & friends have.
