Thanks for the input. &nbsp;But what priority would the user interface get? &nbsp;If a thread with infinite amount of work has a higher priority, what is it that eventually gives the control to a lower priority thread. &nbsp;Relative accrued wait time?<br />

Thanks.

I'm about to add a second thread to my Windows app. in order to process larger jobs in the background, while providing instant user interface response time in the GUI. &nbsp;But I'd like to have a maximal amount of processor cycles available to work on that larger job, to bring it to completion sooner rather than later.<br />
<br />
My question is, can I allocate 80% (or so) or the processor's time to the larger process, since most of the time spent waiting for user interactions will be time lost? &nbsp;Or does the ratio come implicitly by design?<br />
<br />
I'd love to hear your reply.<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

Multi-threading and minimizing underutilization of the processor

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).
