448Delta PriorityClass


448Delta allows you to change the PriorityClass at which it executes.

The PriorityClass effects the entire program. All functions & all Threads in 448Delta will be boosted to this PriorityClass.

Changing the PriorityClass will effect the entire operating system, For example : Setting 448Delta to High priority will block processor time of programs that are running at a lower priority.

High And RealTime PriorityClass are not recomended. RealTime PriorityClass Can easily cause the computer to stop responding if 448Delta runs for more than just a few seconds.


- 448Delta Priority Utility -

The above utility was installed with 448Delta and will be in the start menu under the group 448Delta was installed to. Default: Start > Program > NetWorkDLS > 448Delta


(Idle)

Specify this class for a process whose threads run only when the system is idle. The threads of the process are preempted by the threads of any process running in a higher priority class. An example is a screen saver.


(Normal)

Specify this class for a process with no special scheduling needs.


(High)

Specify this class for a process that performs time-critical tasks that must be executed immediately. The threads of the process preempt the threads of normal or idle priority class processes. An example is Windows Task List, which must respond quickly when called by the user, regardless of the load on the operating system. Use extreme care when using the high-priority class, because a high-priority class application can use nearly all available CPU time.


(RealTime)

Specify this class for a process that has the highest possible priority. The threads of the process preempt the threads of all other processes, including operating system processes performing important tasks. For example, a real-time process that executes for more than a very brief interval can cause disk caches not to flush or cause the mouse to be unresponsive.


Note: PriorityClass & ThreadPriority are not set untill 448Delta is actually writing to the file.
