From a longer discussion at lkml http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/1/28/155 it seems that at least the app-misc/dnetc package should add something like this :

# fair group cpu scheduler
#
[[ -d /sys/kernel/uids/ ]] && echo 2 > /sys/kernel/uids/$(grep -w dnetc
/etc/passwd | cut -d: -f3)/cpu_share

to local.start or sth. similar.


Reproducible: Always

We are not adding anything to local.start, that file is for users' use *only*. 

Granted we can use dev-util/unifdef or whatnot to create the initscript dynamically, but asking for such changes in applications just for them to not completely suck with kernel default configuration sounds like a rather twisted logic.

OK, I've fixed this in the tree by modifying the init script.  Thanks for the bug report!
