OK. But in my opinion, the rc5des client should not be allowed to delay an
other process by that margin - even if it is not nice'd.

But according to the output from 'top' that I wrote, it should already be
runnning at nice level 19 (?).
Anyways, I changed my before mentioned desstart script to the following:
#!/bin/sh
su -c "cd /home/des; nice -n 19 /home/des/rc5des >/dev/null 2>&1" des
or
#!/bin/sh
su -c "cd /home/des; nice -19 /home/des/rc5des >/dev/null 2>&1" des
Neither changed the weird 'benchmark' phenonemon.
