Changing the priority of a process

All processes are assigned a priority, known as a nice(C) value. This value determines how much computing time is allocated to a process, affecting the length of time the process will take to complete.

In the Process Manager, select the process you wish to re-prioritize from the list and select Priority from the Process menu.

Click on the Raise or Lower Priority buttons and enter an increment, if desired.
