ring-buffer benchmark: Run producer/consumer threads at nice +19
The ring-buffer benchmark threads run on nice 0 by default, using
up a lot of CPU time and slowing down the system:
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
1024 root 20 0 0 0 0 D 95.3 0.0 4:01.67 rb_producer
1023 root 20 0 0 0 0 R 93.5 0.0 2:54.33 rb_consumer
21569 mingo 40 0 14852 1048 772 R 3.6 0.1 0:00.05 top
1 root 40 0 4080 928 668 S 0.0 0.0 0:23.98 init
Renice them to +19 to make them less intrusive.
