This does sound a little draconian but I imagine if you're really trying to squeeze out the most performance possible for an app, this is an acceptable measure. To be honest I'm not sure if you can achieve the same performance gain with "nice" - perhaps you can. But in any case I think there's an argument to be made for having a nice UI over anything that might be achievable via the command line.

Does the app gives you anything different to a UI that you can't get using the command I mentioned before?
