r22: you could even submit your optimization to MS. Maybe you will get a job

Just be sure to contact some developer, not management / secretary.

whoa, activity without me being here, even if it is a bit old now and on top of that, people writing code for me - could this get any better?

white_wight, just had a quick look at your code, it looks a little dangerous by boosting priorities to realtime. If a program enters a CPU intensive loop (either deliberately or accidentally) the computer will fail to respond. An example of this could be somebody evil directing you to a link that contains malformed html to make your browser crash, or more specifically enter an infinite loop. Giving it realtime prority will cause the mouse to literally freeze and render the computer unusable before a reset.

I'll have a go at adding the code submitted by you kind folks, and thanks for your efforts!
