When I managed customer's dedicated servers, it would have been useful, for example, to have sshd running at a higher priority than apache, so when their box bogged with some sad customer web-app, more than one ssh keystoke could be typed per minute to kill off their stuff. Maybe a general purpose box could have SpamAssassin running at a lower priority as working a queued mail spool is not user interactive.
