Good point, the question is whether this patch is useful at all in the
presence of generic and simple ways to adjust priority like task manager
and the start utility.

Sascha, I'm more and more tempted to reject this patch, but you have the
final say.  IMO if this gets applied it should be extended to cover
MEncoder.  In any case some decision should be taken, this is the third
time at least we are discussing this...
