	I'm trying to get a particular game to run as fast as possible. Any tips? I've tried renicing it; would this make much difference? It doesn't seem to to me, but maybe I'm doing it by too much or too little. Also, I'd like to know what, besides the Finder, the Dock, and obviously extraneous stuff like AppleSpell and IomegaDrivers, I can safely kill so nothing unnecessary is taking up valuable CPU time. Thanks!
