On other operating systems, users can opt to use nice to control the CPU, and ionic when the I/O scheduler is CFQ. On the CloudLinux OS, it uses LVE to manage scan intensity. To help users avoid scans that might be resource-intensive, the new Imunif圓60 v.4.7 release provides additional configuration options. Note: No current Imunif圓60 installations are affected by these changes.

Intensity level for CPU usage and I/O usage: Minimized.
