Why does adjusting the core process priority via the task manager not affect its performance? How do I manually adjust the priority of the Folding@home core?
Currently when users try to change the priority of the core via the Windows NT/2000/XP task manager this does not affect how much CPU the core gets. The reason for this is that the work is done by the core thread, which is fixed to run at idle priority and is not affected by the task manager priority for the process (which displays as ‘normal’ by default). In order to change the priority manually users must use a program that allows thread-level priority adjustments.
