Note Submitter: dbp alan @@@ hot mail ... com ---- The self created "proc_nice" function used with PHP before version 5 does not work in some system since renice for non-root user (like 'apache', 'httpd', 'www-data' or 'web') can only increase the value, which means decrease the priority, and cannot fallback to even its original value. As a result, when the page finished, the apache will be kept in a higher value and it will be randomly assigned to serve another page, which you might not want it to be served in such priority value. The only solution I think of is to set apache to kill the child process every time (MaxRequestsPerChild = 1) while this is definitely not a good solution. I dunno if this limitation also exist for the proc_nice() in PHP5?
