Priority Master 2008 Tips:
 New Full Time DEFENDER
- If you
are going to use this on a regular basis, at the beginning of the day, select the
"Include NonWindowed processes(ALL)" wait two seconds and then uncheck the item.
This will set all of the processes in the system and even Windows processes to idle. Most
will not attempt to reset their priorities and turning this option OFF reduces CPU
overhead to about zero! However, if want to prioritize items like these, check the Include Invisible Windows.
Put your wireless mouse in the RealTime - CD/DVD Burner
group (mouse32a.exe). Those programs are not effected by the Full Time DEFENDER and get
FAST mouse response always.
Put your wireless USB LAN in the RealTime - CD/DVD Burner group
(WDLAN.exe). Those programs are not effected by the Full Time DEFENDER and get FAST mouse
response always.
TIP OF THE WEEK:
 If
you are using Yahoo Messenger, put it into the CD/DVD Burner - RealTime Class. This works
the same in both Full Time DEFENDER mode and Advanced User mode. It will provide better
connection and better cam performance.
If you
are running in Advanced User Mode (not running the Full Time DEFENDER), put the
explorer.exe into the Idle Class. This will prevent any background activity from
interfering with the foreground application.
If you
have any keyboard or mouse programs, put them into the CD/DVD Burner - RealTime List. This
insure that the mouse and keyboard activity gets the best performance and reaction time.
If you
have a weak machine with a modem connection that drops the connection a lot, just use the
default Full Time DEFENDER mode to reduce or eliminate disconnection.
Use the
HOT List to launch programs at a specific priority at system boot time. This uses a
dynamically constructed environment specifically tailored to the working directory of the
program. As a result, it does not search through all of the system paths to get what it
needs.
Use the
Class Analysis to check how much physical memory is actually being used and your Program
Class Distribution. Getting all 4 classes in the NOMINAL state gives the best possible
response time and maximum possible throughput when the CPU is at 100%.
Run your
defrag, antivirus, and spyware cleaner programs as much as you want. Just use the Full
Time DEFENDER - the default mode.
Programs
priority in the RealTime CD/DVD Burner List are not affected when the Full Time DEFENDER
is activated.
If you
use Zone Alarm, put it into the RealTime - CD/DVD Burner group for best performance.
If you
are having a problem with the explore.exe consuming most or all of the CPU and making your
machine slow, then do 1) add it to the Idle group or 2) use the Full Time DEFENDER and put
it in the background.
