If your app is in the foreground, it isn't put down in priority. If it is in the background (not visible to the user) it is, and you would not be able to run much because there is something in the foreground that wants to run and we strongly prefer that so your background app can't impact UI responsiveness.
I would suggest running the profiler on your app to see what it is doing. On Wed, Nov 18, 2009 at 8:11 AM, Neilz <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all.
