- Executive shouldn't be scheduling any of these tasks.
- Check your Executive prefs. The catch range should have a maximum of
- about 2. So input.device's default priority of 20 should not be
- scheduled.
- Get a program like PRIMAN to look at the real prioritys of your tasks.
- You should find that most device drivers have a priorty of 5 so
- Executive should not touch them at all.
-
- How are you measuring your throughput ?
- If its a FTP/WWW connection then you may need to raise the priority of
- your Browser/FTP client, or make it less 'nice'.
