AutoIt Priority Settings?

[Drath]

I was wondering what AutoIt's priority was set at, and if there is a way at all to change it using some kind of fuction, because my AutoIt program right now is using 50% of my cpu power (3.6Ghz), and when I run some very high powered applications, it slows the applications down considerably.

Generally it is looping code that causes this sluggishness. If you add a simple Sleep(100) into most loops then you should be fine.

I hope this answers your question/concern.

The beta features the @AutoItPID macro, which you can then use with ProcessSetPriority():

; Set script priority to low
ProcessSetPriority(@AutoItPID, 0)

Refer to the help file for details on the numbers that can be used.
