I don't mind the load on my Mac (it's a dual processor g5), but it may be an issue for other people. Does/can buildbot run at a lower priority or is it just a matter of nice-ing the slave process at startup?

As (I think) Brian mentioned, the scheduler for the (proposed) "full builder" could be setup to just build, say, once per day or only a couple of times per day where as the "incremental builder" would trigger for every SVN checkin.

Nicing could probably also be done.
