Package: dpkg Version: 1.13.25 Severity: wishlist On slow systems, dpkg uses up so much CPU time that all other processes get slowed down even more than necessary. So it would be nice if dpkg had a commandline option (to be used by aptitude/apt-get and others) that would cause dpkg to lower its own priority (i.e. increase its nice level) so that other processes get more chances to process user requests.
