Priority

Anything relating to modifying the priority of a dos emulator is in this panel.


Topics

Information Setting any options here have a global effect, ie. Any changes are applied to every emulator. To change the priority class that StarLaunch specifies when it calls CreateProcess(), select whatever you want from the combobox. You will have to experiment to see if there is any gain in performance from changing this, i haven't been able to see any effect myself, but it's there if you want to change it.
Attempt to set high priority thread Tells StarLaunch to increase the priority of the dos session's Win32 counterpart's thread This may or may not have an effect on the emulators performance.
Attempt to reset priority class Tells StarLaunch that it should set the class priority of the emulator again after the process has been started. I noticed with the Process Viewer that the class priority of the dos session didn't change at all when you called CreateProcess(), it seems to ignore it! So i incorperated this feature, which does actually set the class's priority.
Force dos emus to exclusive mode Should boost emulator performance. A Feature which will make StarLaunch write some data to your apps.inf file, and tell Windows to start the emulator in exclusive mode. This disables multitasking, and should give a speedup to your emulators.
Priority Start up dos apps with more cpu cycles. Get performance boosts in emulators!
Plugins Adding / configuring programs which add functionality to StarLaunch. Plugin setup and global options here.
