Set foreground to "above normal" rather than "high"
« on: February 06, 2008, 06:27 PM »
It would be nice if my foreground process was above normal rather than high, i.e., higher priority than all my others, except for the ones that are high, which should stay above the foreground.  I like to protect the foreground from taming, and set explorer to high.  That way the foreground gets lots of cpu attention, but if I want to task switch, explorer does not get delayed because it is above the foreground priority.

Makes sense to me ;-)

Is this an easy fix?

I forgot to mention that Process Tamer is fantastic!!  :Thmbsup:

It's actually quite a good idea to change the foreground boost option to "above normal", as making it high might be pushing things too far -- adding to my todo list.

and thanks for alerting me not to miss this post f0dder.
