User space tool for marking a process 'interactive'?

Submitted by Anonymous

I have a GUI program which I forward from one box to another through X. When the cpu starts working overtime on the 'server' the gui becomes unbarably laggy. I don't think the 'server' is marking the program as interactive because of the X forwarding. Are there any user space tools that can help me? Thanks

Kernel?

What kernel are you running on the server? 2.4 and earlier kernels simply can't keep a task interactive if the load gets too high. There aren't really many userspace tools that will help that situation in mainline kernels apart from "nice".
