Just an idea... would it be possible to re-nice the program you are using? Cheers, David
Sorry, don't really know what the 'nice level' does or what 're-nice' means :). I'll look into it. One program I use, Traverso (http://traverso-daw.org) specifically notifies you at startup (letting you know that it's not a failure but may cause performance issues) that it could not set realtime thread priority, but I have not (yet at least) had any actual performance problems, so I prefer to pretend there is no problem :). --Jason. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
