how to give applications 100% cpu time

[jan jongbloed]

while video encoding the program (CloneBD) does not get enough cpu time due to the system idle process, how to overcome this ?
Tried to give real-time priority with sysinternals process explorer but no difference.

There is something limiting the process (probably I/O). IF it were ready to run, it would. The system IDLE process only "runs" (it doesn't really run, it is an accounting trick) when NOTHING else is ready to run. It is also possible that CloneBD is not fully mulit-threaded and won't use all your CPU.

There are some threads about CloneBD being slow in general. Could be just the software.
