Description:

schedtool can set all scheduling parameters Linux is capable of or dis-
play information for given processes.

Long-running, non-interactive tasks may benefit from SCHED_BATCH as
timeslices are longer, less system-time is wasted by computing the next
runnable process and the caches stay stable.

Audio/video or other near-realtime applications may run with less skip-
ping if set to SCHED_RR. Use the static priority-switch -p to fine-
tune inter-process-hierarchies.

schedtool now supports setting the CPU-affinity introduced in linux
2.5.8.
