128Gamma allows you to change the ThreadPriority at which it executes.
The ThreadPriority effects only the thread that is used to Encrypt, Decrypt, & Pack, Unpack.
Changing the ThreadPriority will effect the entire operating system, For example : Setting 128Gamma to Highest ThreadPriority will block processor time of programs that are running at a lower priority.
Highest And TimeCritical ThreadPriority are not recomended. TimeCritical PriorityClass Can easily cause the computer to stop responding if 128Gamma runs for more than just a few seconds.
