Re: MPTask hogging CPU

I have an MPTask that does a bunch of image processing. It uses about 86% of

But, it forces the fan on sometimes on 'books, so... Is there a way to
specify that my task not take more than x percentage of the CPU?

The best you can do (for something automatic) is set the thread priority, but this will not stop the thread from consuming all spare cycles. If you want to restrict the % of CPU then you will have to sleep the thread yourself.

Failure is not an option. It is a privilege reserved for those who try.
