Everytime I plan on doing some downloading at 14.4, I always pull up task-x
and zap task priorities.  (I actualy seek revenge on the trackdisk.device!
If you lower anything, lower it!)  Just take TaskX and lower all the partitons
you AREN'T using to 0 or -1, and bump them back up when you are done.  Changes
are the priority you saw in FaaastPrep were boot priorities from what it
sounds like.
