CPU Hog

[calx]

Does anyone know of a good way to make programs such as CCE not use so much of the CPU. I want to do other things on the computer while encoding in the background without it taking forever for me to do my primary task. I don't care if CCE or whatever other task I'm doing in the background takes longer. I'm using Windows XP.

Use Task Manager and lower the CPU priority. Right click on your start menu bar, and select Task Manager. From there, click the Processes tab and look for the running exe of CCE. Right click on the process, and you'll see the pop-up menu where you can set the priority level of the program.
