Priority of processes

[Crolow]

I was checking the Affinity performance, and I realized that the process priority is set to normal, so basically it will use as less possible CPU.

It should be great that the processor could set the priority of their processes to high.
I didn't found something to make this not versatile but this command that you can use in a batch file can help with this : wmic process where name="Photo.exe" CALL setpriority "128"

Give a try it seems to me, that the performance of the tone mapping as for example increased dramatically

Those priority settings should only have an effect on how the processes compete with other activities on the computer.  If you have two things running and both are competing for the CPU, the one with high priority will be given more access to the CPU than the one with low priority, so it makes the one with high priority faster at the expense of the other.

If you are seeing an actual improvement in performance from changing this, you probably had something else competing with it when you ran it at least the first time, and if it was still in competition the second time, it would have suffered (slowed down) as a result of prioritizing the Affinity app.  Defaulting to a normal priority level is appropriate.

Hi 

You are right ... I don't know why that tone mapping was so slow for a few minutes. Probably windows updater or antivirus. 

Speed is again reasonable...

Tyank you

More likely an update, file indexer or other background process, but I suppose antivirus activity is possible.
