I've been using a modified version of Apache::Album on my machine; it's been modified to support Photoshop files, PDFs, and other such interesting formats. The only problem is that ImageMagick (and the re-coding that I've done) likes to call external programs to process these; these (gs, convert, montage, etc.) guzzle down a few hundred megs of RAM like candy.\ It seems to make the box more responsive if I renice these processes to 10 or so. Is there any sort of daemon available that automatically renices processes matching a regexp? This would be handy in other circumstances - auto-nicing bash to -5, squid to -10 or so, and the occasional analog process to something low.
