 Replying to [comment:4 cjb]:
 > Ivan, do you have an idea of what the plausible options here are, aside
 from fixing X?

 With the LX move, this might no longer be an actual problem. If it is and
 all else fails, we have the easy technical ability to introduce per-VM
 scheduler bias (e.g. as a signed capability), but that's a last resort.
 Ethrop actually said something on IRC that made me very suspicious of this
 problem, but I can't recall what it is at the moment, and I don't see it
 attached to the bug. I think it _might_ have been that the situation
 improves when tamtam is simply run as root, without being reniced to a
 higher priority at all. This would be very surprising, since I don't
 believe the kernel contains any implicit bias for uid 0 processes, and
 they start at the normal system priority.
