My trusty ol' Amiga 3000 had a program that allowed "Unix-like task scheduling." what that meant was I could go in and look at each task running and assign priorities to them so that certain tasks or processes had more CPU time than others. This would remain in affect every time I ran the individual application.

My question is, obviously, how do we do that in OS X? I'm tired of Acquisition sucking up all my CPU while I play Ghost Recon (I know...buy a faster computer).

Thanks.

Open a Terminal window and type in "man renice" (without the quotes). That will introduce you to the command-line way of handling priorities.
There are a couple of freeware & shareware utilities that put a GUI on renicing. I like Process Wizard, but check out some others and see what works for you.
