This makes a lot of sense. But even if so, if I could set a maximum
CPU rate, I could get some cycles to kill it. Now I sometimes have
to wait minutes to bring up the killer
What OS are you using? Any Windows from Win2K on should not behave like
that. Even when a process is taking 100% CPU the system should yield to
ctrl-alt-del or the request to bring up Task Manager in a timely manner,
not minutes.
To respond to your 'max CPU limit' idea, I don't think Windows really
has that concept. The closest out there may be the ability, in Task
Manager, to change to 'Below normal' or 'Low' priority. Depending on
Windows version you can right-click the process in Task Manager to set
that. But it is a one-time setting, not persistent. And it is not
recommended for something as 'system integrated' as IE.
