hi,

thanks to:
        Wallie Leung
        Kevin Sheehan
        Singh Adrian A
        Mike Evans
        Birger Wathne
for their time.

to summarize:
1. seems to be no such a tunable limiting cpu usage
percentage. srm does install its own scheduler.
temporary solutions include process time limitation
and manual priority setting.
2. no easy solution, needs more investigation.

with best regards,
baurjan.
