Modifying the time slice for user processes.


Hi all,

Does anyknow know how I can modify the time slice for user processes? This exercise is purely educational -> (an assignment).

I found in kernel/sched.c a preprocesser directive:
Code:
#define DEF_TIMESLICE  100 * HZ / 1000
And then found out that just modifying this statement and rebuilding was not the correct way to go about doing this.

Thanks.
