cf le lien donné dans on mail précédent:

"... The tuning in the 2.6 kernel scheduler and the staircase scheduler
are
specifically designed to not need -ve nice levels for any normal userspace
tasks, but for critical things like root shells to use in case of emergency, or
video and audio capture. If X is reniced to a negative number it is very easy
and in fact likely that audio playback will suffer under heavy use of the
desktop such as moving windows, scrolling text pages etc.
