GNU/Linux and parallel FET tasks

[Liviu Lalescu]

In the past, I used KDE and needed to run two FET programs in parallel, to compare their performance (I have a dual-core processor). I needed both programs to have almost the same processing resources, and that happened on KDE.

On Xfce, it seems that one program out of these two is advantaged, or anyway the behavior is not what I want.

Is it because maybe I have a newer Linux kernel, or because I have Xfce instead of KDE?

How can I do what I want?

Maybe with the nice command assing the same nice amount to both check man nice

Thanks, I'll see it in the future.
