+ * We adjust the priority of the current process.
+ * The priority of a process gets worse as it accumulates
+ * CPU time. The cpu usage estimator (p_cpu) is increased here
+ * and the formula for computing priorities (in kern_synch.c)
+ * will compute a different value each time the p_cpu increases
+ * by 4. The cpu usage estimator ramps up quite quickly when
+ * the process is running (linearly), and decays away exponentially,
+ * at a rate which is proportionally slower when the system is
+ * busy. The basic principal is that the system will 90% forget
+ * that a process used a lot of CPU time in 5*loadav seconds.
+ * This causes the system to favor processes which haven't run
+ * much recently, and to round-robin among other processes.
