Task Manager priority?

from Sins Forums

Has anyone played around with Sins task bar priority? I set it to high the other nite and things seemed to run smoother. Plus I went 14 hours into a game b4 i got a minidump. BTW for those that are getting a minidump, do you have icons enabled? Wouldnt that make the game have to draw not only every mine but also every ICON for the mines. Thats double graphic work for the game to handle, isn't it?

Changing the priority does make it run a bit faster, but don't set it to the highest setting, or it could concievably lock up the computer with no way of getting out save a hard reboot.

Icons probably aren't as much work to draw as the mines themselves, but it is just a little more work.

Just so people know before I  set Sins at high priority in task manager I would get a minidump semi often. Play has been much more smooth and much less dumps than before.....

this to me would be a better option than lowering my graphic settings......
