Re: Entourage unusable on OS X (s-l-o-o-o-o-o-w-w-w)

[Timothy Bates]

We probably need to distinguish between 'rage hogging the processor, and
being slow. When you are trying to switch to an OS-X process, the
responsiveness of the system to your request is determined by the
"niceness" you give to classic. In order to make classic feel snappy, the
default nice for this unitary process is, I suspect, quite low.

There are Unix (and some GUI OSX) utilities to set the niceness, and one
could back classic off, which would let it churn away in the background
without upsetting your responsiveness in OmniBrowser or whatever you want to
spend time in.
