Priority for cron jobs

[Fábio Mendes]

I'm sorry, I didn't saw it. I'm not really into cron job details, but
from what I saw in the scripts, no job is firing it's commands with a
low priority. I don't know if there is a cron configuration that handle
that or if you have to code in each script. It makes sense for me that
they run with a 15 or so priority, so users will barely notice when
they're running (it looks as if the system is broken if it slows down
suddenlly, specially when there is no user visible note about it).
