hi, not sure where to post this, but i would prefer to have an option to select thread priority, so the client never accidentally hogs the system. then i can let it work while i work, and it truly is using unused processor cycles. thanks! |

SETI should never "accidently" hog CPU time, since the process is created with idle priority to begin with. They do not modify the priority, so there's no way (unless you manually change it yourself) it would pop up to Normal or High priority. Though it would still be nice to have a similar feature in order to set SETI's default priority to something other than Idle for those dedicated boxes you leave in your closet and forget about =D _______________________________ |
