  • Program to set how much cpu % a program gets

    I'm looking for a program to "set" how much Cpu % a program gets....

    So I can limit for example Seti to 25% or so.....

    in Win2K there is
    System Properties\Advanced\Performance Options
    set the optimize performance setting for applications

    that might help you somewhat

      can't do such a thing afaik. You can only set program priority. (idle, below normal, normal, above normal, high, realtime)

          dZeus is spot on, and I presume thop is talking about Technoids' original question

          most, if not all distributed computing applications are run as 'low' priority so that they don't steal performance from foreground applications, but there's not much you can do beyond that...
          Look, I know you think the world of me, that's understandable, you're only human, but it's not nice to call somebody "Vain"!

            Hm....
            I do remember seeing such a program for NT once in the mists of time....

              I doubt its a good idea or even possible under Windows.

              Effectively 75% of CPU time is wasted. Low/Idle priority is a much better option.

                Not too much difficult to code a little program to do something like that....
