| Will the priority carry through to the gcc processes? |

| The "nice" value does carry through to child processes, yes. |

Yep. Child processes inherit the priority of their parents.

I almost always do: nice -n 19 emerge whatever
All the of the processes started by emerge are niced, so my desktop remains very usable. |

Not to brag or anything buuuut....
My desktop always remains usable during emerges. I have a 933mhz PIII with 512MB ram, and typically have kde3, xemacs, vmware, mozilla and a bunch of terms running, and nothing seems sluggish...
