  • How do you expect the system to know what program is important to you and which isn’t?

    The windows solution is to switch tasks very often and to do a lot of accounting to ensure fair distribution. This results in a small but significant performance degradation. If you want your system to perform worse overall you can achieve this by setting the default process time slice value very low - don’t come back complaining if your builds suddently take 10-20% longer though.

    The correct solution is for you to tell the system what’s important and what is not so it can do what you want properly.

    You might like to configure and use the auto nice deamon: https://and.sourceforge.net/
