[ale] faster linux

[Jim Kinney]

I have that running on fedora 14 kernel 2.6.35. Note that the cgroups space
is located in /cgroups and requires running cgconfig in /etc/init.d.

in ~/.bashrc :

if [ "$PS1" ] ; then
   mkdir -m 0700 /cgroup/cpu/user/$$
   echo $$ > /cgroup/cpu/user/$$/tasks
fi

and:

/sbin/chkconfig --list | grep cgc
cgconfig           0:off    1:off    2:on    3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off

I have a line in /etc/rc.local incase a reboot looses the user dir:

mkdir -m 0777 /cgroup/cpu/user

Does it work? Subjectively, yes. Quad-core Intel Core2 @2.66 GHz and desktop
with a gazillion firefox tabs and gnome terminal(s) with loads of tabs each
"feels" a bit snappier. I have not done any measurable testing.
