Ben-

	You mean like the OS level? I think that would be totally dependent  
on what OS you are running. And I don''t think it would be something  
you could do from within ruby. I think you would have to do it from  
within your OS. Well you could make some system calls to set the nice  
level i guess.

	Also in your case maybe you might want to consider running more then  
one bgdrb daemon. You could easily seperate the drb servers and run a  
certain amount of workers in one and more workers in another. This  
would require some hacking on your part but not too much. You could  
duplicate the code block in the plugin/lib/backgrondrb.rb file and  
rename the second one MiddleMan2 or whatever and change the port  
number. I may add this as an option in a future release. I am also  
playing with the idea of using Rinda TupleSpace to distribute the  
workers across multiple processes. This would allow for bigger jobs  
to be easily processed by multiple workers in their own processes.   
Let me know what you end up doing.
