Is there a way to lower an application's priority from within the
application itself? I have a vb.net app that's using too much of the CPU
and I'd like to be able to throttle it back some.

Never used it, so I do'nt know if it works for you

Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.Priority =
Threading.ThreadPriority.BelowNormal

But you can give it a try

Hi,

Yes, see Herfried's message.

However... You should look at the logic of your code. It sounds like you
are in a loop, polling some sort of "condition." Perhaps there is a more
appropriate technique. Simply changing priority may not be the best way to
tackle the problem.
