In rare cases, users have reported the program can interfere with the
performance of some programs such as disk defragmenters and some games.
You can pause mprime automatically when these programs are running by
adding this line to prime.ini:

PauseWhileRunning=prog1,prog2,prog3,etc

Note that mprime will pause if the program name matches any part of the
running program's name as returned by "ps -eo comm". That is, "foobar"
will match "foobar" and "myfoobarprog". By default, mprime will check
the list of running programs every 64 iterations, but not more
frequently than every 10 seconds. You can adjust the time period with
this prime.ini setting:

PauseCheckInterval=n

where n is the number of seconds between checking which programs are
running.
