I did not know that SA had a thread priority. I will look for it.

I also use Dirmon2 to start ffmpeg (mpeg -> XVID encoder). I checked and did not find a thread priority option.

However this does to resolve the initial problem of Dirmon2 taking 95% of my CPU. Right now I can't run it because of this. I realize that in an earlier version Jere released a fix for this. Could it be broken again?

Jere?
