- I'm running some very time-intensive number-crunching programs,
- and I need to know how to give them high execution priority. On
- UNIX, you can give background jobs high priority -- at least, when
- the machine is idle (even if the screen saver turns on), the job
- uses most of the processor time. On OS/2, it seems that is not the
- case (at least as things are set up by default).
-
- Does anyone know how I can make sure my program gets lots of processor
- time even when lockup has turned on (i.e., when I am running the program
- over night)?
