I would like to set this higher, "Normal". Is there anything I should know about before changing Seti process Priority? Will doing this trash a work unit in progress? and Why is this the default, Should it be normal to start with? -pc info- Windows 7 32-Bit - AMD Athlon II X2 B24 cpu ID: 1635099 ·

There is little to gain in raising the priority of the project apps. You can always change priority manually but you would have to do this whenever a new WU started. There is no way I know of to automate this. ID: 1635124 ·
