Description of the change

Newer versions of Linux support more aggressively idle states for processes.

In particular, non-root users can call "ionice -c3" in linux 2.6.25 and up. And "chrt --idle 0" is available in linux 2.6.23 and up.

So, we might as well use them, to reduce the strain of a backup on the system. Ideally the user never notices.
