Follow these steps if you need to change the adjustable rates for
rebuilds, and other system tasks that run in the background:
Note: It is recommended that you leave the adjustable task rates at
their default settings to achieve the best system
performance. If you raise the task rates above the defaults,
foreground tasks will run more slowly and it may seem that
the system is not responding. If you lower the task rates
below the defaults, rebuilds and other background tasks
may run very slowly and may not complete within a
reasonable time. If you decide to change the values, record
the original default value here so you can restore them
later, if necessary:
Rebuild Rate: ____________
Background Initialization (BGI) Rate: ____________
Check Consistency Rate: ____________
