Another test, now with 4 process (dual cpu):
#nice -n 19 ./eatcpu&
#nice -n 19 ./eatcpu&
#./eatcpu&
#nice -n -19 ./eatcpu&

And the top output:
<<<<<<

The niced process still has it's own cpu, and the "nice -19" process has
33% of the second cpu.

IMHO that's buggy. 4 running process, 1 on cpu0, 3 on cpu1.
