Completely pointless
There is no point in using renice on VirtualPC. The developers of VirtualPC (Connectix) have said this and I just tried it anyway and not only did it not help, it actually made it seem slower. Certainly everything else is slowed to a crawl if you give VirtualPC the highest priority, and that includes OS X's window manager. For an appreciable speedup, simply switch VirtualPC into full screen mode. That will make a noticeable (and positive) difference (aside from making you feel ill at the site of Windows taking over your Mac OS X screen), no renice necessary.
Completely pointless
Ah well, at least I learned a bit of Applescript in the process... :( I was hoping. As I had said in my original post, I wasn't sure it would make a difference and didn't have benchmarking software to find out. Thanks for letting us know.

You seem to have some useful information from the folks at Connectix, something I have had no luck with. Where do they say that renice does not work? I can't find anything in the "Knowledge Database" section of www.connectix.com on this topic (or any useful topic for that matter). |
