SW Priority

SW Priority

SW Priority

(OP)
Has anyone assigned a higher priority for SW in their task manager?  Mine is normal by default, but I was wondering if it would help to set it higher?  Task Manager help says changing priorities may adversely affect performance of other processes.  Is anyone familiar w/ this?

Thanks

RE: SW Priority

If you seem to be having performance issues then clean out all your temp files and useless old backup files, use Windows cleanup, and delete the prefetch files. Then defrag the disk and reboot.
It helps sometimes. winky smile

RE: SW Priority

I have changed the priority to high but only when SW is on the verge of crashing and I recieve an error or caution message.  I make the switch to high so I can save my files before everything dies.  Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.  Normally I just leave it alone.

RE: SW Priority

I have completed some testing with this mod, and have never seen any positive results for general usage.  Performance or stability wise.
