Limiting CPU access?

ardeegee · 04-14-2011, 06:27 PM

Whenever I have Calibre convert comics to epubs, the system becomes unusable for anything else-- Calibre threads take over all 4 of my cores and slow everything else to a virtual lockdown. Is there a way to tell Calibre to, maybe, use only 3 cores, or use only x percent of CPU resources so that I can actually do stuff while conversions are happening?

Never mind-- I just found the answer in another thread.

A simple link would have been nice.

I think he's talking about the limit worker processes- solution.

I find that setting the worker process priority to be Low is more important than reducing the number if you want to improve responsiveness of one's PC.
