Comment 2 for bug 587173

SABnzbd's support for nice and ionice is simply brilliant.

LottaNZB now uses the most conservative values possible for the SABnzbd configurations options 'misc.nice' and 'misc.ionice' that will cause post-processing to have the lowest possible impact on the system's performance.

Making this change allowed me to watch HD material while SAbnzbd performed a download extraction on the very same hard drive. Even though the extraction process didn't take much longer, I noticed no impact on the system's performance.

What is not clear yet how existing SABnzbd users will be able to set the two options using LottaNZB. I'd like to keep the impact on LottaNZB's user interface as small as possible.
