There is an article on Metalink that talks about doing this and doesn't mention the problem but I will take your word over that. Another post on usenet talked about some different software available on particular operating systems that would do the smae thing as "nice" but I guess it does is a little more "nicley". Would this be safe? How about punishing the whole lot and forcing all processes with a particular database to run at a lower level?

WARNING: do not run Oracle processes at different priority by altering the nice value. This is specifically warned against in the manuals. If you have a process with a lowered priority that obtains a lock on an object, then can't run because of the low priority, you will create a deadlock or hang situation. All Oracle processes should run at the same priority.
