On Windows, bring up the Task Manager, Processes tab. Look for the
process you want to throttle. Right click it, and use "Set Priority" to
give it a below normal priority.
That takes so long. Is there way to do it with a batch script or a
tiny utility?
The information at http://xona.com/2004/07/22.html (which another user
posted elsewhere in this thread) suggests how to start a process (such
as a JVM) with priority reduced from the outset. I'd guess that
/abovenormal, /high, and /realtime could also be used to start a process
with elevated priority (say, an I/O bound task you want to remain very
responsive).
making a fist of a guess, "seamus" Derbyshire, is no
enhancement of your plagiaristic dumma than a box
of rocks subterfuge attempts.
"seamus" Derbyshire records updated follow - names
are missing as I aint so skilled as the "Murphy".
