Note that OSUOSL has allocated us enough resources that so far it hasn't really been a problem. I don't think it was noticeable to outsiders while I was compiling XEmacs, for instance. It isn't a "best practices" approach however, as you point out.

Yep. Just a "The server is over a big load. Come back later." message.

Make sure you set "PORTAGE_NICENESS="19"" in make.conf so your emerges will have as little impact as possible, also having ccache installed will reduce the time to upgrade a package (especially if the difference between the one installed and the new one is only a 1 line change to fix a bug).

    Handy hints there. Also do the practical thing - schedule this kind of thing when there's as little activity on the system as possible. With all your experience of running the dot you'll know when this is.
