- I noticed a problem with NT the other day while doing a compile of around 30
- files. I have a screen saver enabled to come on after 5 min. If I just let
- the compile go by itself, the screen saver comes up and the compile seems to
- get suspended. The screen saver clearly has the highest priority.
-
- This is in contrast to the pre-release version of NT where in the same
- situation the screen saver would look almost dead, jumping a little bit now
- and then during I/O waits when the CPU could run it.
-
- So the question is: is the task switching working as intended now, or should
- we expect a major change in the beta release? Should I disable my screen
- saver? Is there anything I can do to change task priorities?
