Didn't you get my announcement?

The generic location is ftp.inf.tu-dresden.de:/pub/atari/Mint/Kernel/.

As far as I can tell, CPU hogs are penalized in order to get a better
response time for interactive programs.  This doesn't really mean that
they're not given what they need, just that they get somewhat less
time slices if other processes are ready to run (e.g. if new input
data has been received).
