| SPRI (System Priority) is a utility designed to
que different processes with different priority levels based on
3 class levels of importance (high,med,low).
The problem? Linux has priority levels to thread all tasks at, these
prio's are ranged from -20 to +19 (negative = high prio, positive
= low prio) with 0 as the default for all processes. So this being
the fact, with everything operating at prio 0 you got fights between services as to who gets what resources first.
Solution? Very simply, que different processes at different priority
levels to effectively discipline the system on who gets what resource
access first.
The average load level of a server can be substantialy decreased
by using spri, by as much as 5-20%, of course results may vary.
