Are you sure that your login problems are due to mysql pegging cpu? It 
could also be due to heavy disk i/o (aka swapping) and if it is, 
changing priorities makes zero difference.


If the problem really is mysql pegging cpu, do you have a lot of 
connections? If you do, consider getting connection pooling into your 
architecture if you do not already do so.
