Setting priority (aka 'nice' in *nix-speak) to -20 will allocate more CPU cycles to that process. Whether the process runs any faster depends on if it was starved for CPU cycles to begin with. For example, if your SBS is on a computer and the library is on a NAS elsewhere on the network, the binding constraint for your scans may be network transfer speed, and not the CPU. If that's the case then priority will have no effect on scan times.
For a more conventional case where SBS and the library are on the same box, and there is sufficient RAM (ie, no swapping), then changing the priority to a lower number should result in faster scans. -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35488 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
