Varying the Response Time for "Compute Bound" Applications (102061)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.1
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 3.1
- Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server 3.1
This article was previously published under Q102061 SUMMARY
When "compute bound" applications (such as Microsoft Flight Simulator)
run in the foreground with the system Control Panel tasking options
set to "Best Foreground Application Response Time" updates of other
applications may be slower. This setting gives you the best response
in "compute bound" applications such as Microsoft Flight Simulator.
If you don't require the best response time in your "compute bound"
application, you can do any of the following:
- Set the system Control Panel tasking options to "Foreground and
Background Applications Equally Responsive."
- Move another window to the foreground.
- Minimize the window.
- Use the Start command to run the application using a lower priority
setting.
- Create a PIF file (for an MS-DOS - based application) and set
Multitasking Options - Foreground Priority to a value less
than 100.
