What I meant was: if you think that your interference is caused by the
CPU constantly switching in and out of sleep states, then it's quite
easy to temporarily stop this. The command above will force your CPU to
stay at 100% usage - though the "nice" part makes sure that the process
priority is very low, and so it won't make your system unresponsive.
This is really a diagnostic rather than a fix, since it also pushes
power-consumption and temperature up.
