That's an Ubuntu problem and not an Linux problem thank goodness.

That depends how good Linux's support for very-low-priority background tasks is.

UNIX priorities don't handle this situation well because a low priority process is still technically immediately runnable and can cause priority inversions by clearing out all kinds of system caches that your foreground app was using.
