You can use something such as 'and' (auto nice daemon) which
allows more complex criteria for killing (and nicing) processes,
such as using x% CPU or x seconds of *CPU time* (rather than
wallclock time).

As for the server being slow/unresponsive, every time it's
unresponsive for me, it turns out it's running the backup job.  Is
DMA enabled?  I notice that hdparm is installed but
/etc/hdparm.conf doesn't contain any stanzas to enable DMA.
