Process control and scheduling

Changing the priority of a process

All processes are assigned a priority, known as a nice(1) value. This value determines how much computing time is allocated to a process, affecting the length of time the process will take to complete.

In the Process Manager, select a process from the list and select Process -> Renice.

Click on the Raise or Lower Priority buttons and enter an increment, if desired.
