Thanks! I've been having that problem myself but it hadn't been big enough to be worth investigating myself. Trying it out now.

Everytime i run bitcoind/Bitcoin-Qt (on linux) - it stucks my hdd during all synchronization. I couldnt even surf web pages commonly.

So when i modified my Bitcoin shortcut to run Bitcoin-Qt with ionice - it runs much smoother now:

Quote
/usr/bin/ionice -c idle /path/to/bitcoin-qt
Quote
/usr/bin/ionice -c idle /path/to/bitcoind

I can do regular work with complex tasks now during all bitcoin startup sync process.
