Performance of child processes
I have an application whose performance depends on how I
start it. If I start it from a cmd window, then it runs great, but if I start it from a shell in my editor (which uses a cmd to execute commands) then it runs about 3x slower. In either case, the Task Manager says that the process has the same Normal priority. I never had this problem in Win2000 (or 95 or 98, even). When I do a Performance monitor on the process, it spends more time doing I/O writes (the application displays graphics and plays sounds, so I guess these writes are to these devices). Any ideas why the application runs faster when launched from a cmd window as opposed from a cmd that was started by another application? Thanks in advance, Brian |
