Change the niceness option to also ionice SExtractor #9

Or add a separate ioniceness. In any case, ionice is in fact more important that nice...

kuntzer commented 10 years ago

What's ioniceness ? :)

mtewes commented 10 years ago

It's like niceness, but for I/O access instead of CPU. I thought that the priority of I/O access was lowered by nice (nice including ionice somehow), but I was completely wrong (thanks Hendrik!). So ionice is indeed more relevant than nice for sewpy.

BTW did you notice how much "nicer" the doc now looks :)

reikonakajima commented 10 years ago

Wow, never heard of ioniceness before. Good to know.

mtewes commented 10 years ago

BTW the user command is called ionice. The word ioniceness might have just been invented in this thread...
