.SS SCHED_BATCH: Scheduling batch processes
(Since Linux 2.6.16.)
\fBSCHED_BATCH\fP can only be used at static priority 0.

This policy is similar to \fBSCHED_OTHER\fP in that it schedules
the process according to its dynamic priority
(based on the nice value).
The difference is that this policy
will cause the scheduler to always assume
that the process is CPU-intensive.
Consequently, the scheduler will apply a small scheduling
penalty with respect to wakeup behaviour,
