there's a relatively easy way to figure out whether it's related to the 
interactivity code: try AIM7 with SCHED_BATCH as well, to take most of 
the 'interactivity effects' out of the picture.

build the attached setbatch.c code and do "./setbatch $$" to change the 
shell to SCHED_BATCH (and all its future children will be SCHED_BATCH 
too).
