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.
