Managing Processor Time

[joliett]

I read about Managing Processor Time
by going

Click Start, click Control Panel, click Performance and
Maintenance, and then click System.

I dont have the Performance and Maintenance catagory in
winxp home edition.

Where is it?

Right click My Computer | Properties | Advanced tab |
====
Your Control Panel is in Classic View that's why you don't have
Performance and Maintenance catagory.

To change the performance of foreground and background programs
Open System in Control Panel.
On the Advanced tab, under Performance, click Settings.
On the Advanced tab, under Processor scheduling, do one of the following:
Click Programs to assign more processor resources to the foreground program
than the background program.
Click Background services to assign equal amounts of processor resources to
all programs.
Notes

To open System, click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and
then double-click System.
Choosing the Programs option will result in a smoother, faster response time
for your foreground program. If you want a background task, such as a Backup
utility, to run faster, choose the Background services option.
The Programs option allocates short, variable time slices, or quanta, to
running programs, while the Background services option assigns long, fixed
quanta.

Hope this helps. Let us know.
