/NORMAL Starts the application in the NORMAL priority class. This is the default setting.
Foreground applications normally start at this priority. You should only use this setting for
126 CHAPTER 5 CREATING CMD AND BAT FILES
applications that you want to complete at a normal pace. This setting does affect all foreground
application responsiveness.
/ABOVENORMAL Starts the application in the ABOVENORMAL priority class. This setting places
the application at a slightly higher priority than standard applications. The other foreground
tasks continue to run, but at a noticeably slower pace. Use this setting for priority applications
that must complete tasks quickly.
/HIGH Starts the application in the HIGH priority class. You won??™t normally have a good
reason to use this priority for any application. Using this priority level can affect system functionality
and definitely slows other foreground applications to a crawl. Always use this setting
with extreme caution.
/REALTIME Starts the application in the REALTIME priority class. Using this priority level
stops execution of other foreground tasks and some system tasks as well. In addition, system
functionality degrades noticeably.
