If I run make -j10 and a video player in parallel on a single core system and make takes over most of the CPU isn't that reasonable behaviour?

It's *justifiable* behaviour, but it's not the best behaviour.
If you can't watch video while the compilation is underway, what's the point of the scheduler allowing the video player to consume resources at all?
You can't tell users it's too much to demand decent interactivity while heavy background processes are running.
