Please explain further what SIGXCPU is, and what this means.
Many of us don't understand your idea, so we cant vote for it.

SIGXCPU appears to be for coders..
On POSIX-compliant platforms, SIGXCPU is the signal thrown by computer programs when they exceed their allowed rations of CPU time. In source code, SIGXCPU is a symbolic constant defined in the header file signal.h. Symbolic signal names are used because signal numbers can vary across platforms.
Makes sense, +1

He means that applications that stop 'responding' should get less CPU (and preferbly also less IO)
Great idea.
Doable, won't break anything, and keeps the systeem as a whole feel more stable.
