Setting the Windows Sender process priority
This section discusses adjusting the process priority of the Windows Sender. The default process priority of the
Windows Sender is normal. In some cases, increasing the process priority of the Sender will improve
interactivity—for example, when the Windows scheduling algorithms does not give the RGS Sender sufficient CPU
time to maintain smooth interactivity. Networking performance can also contribute to reduced interactivity.
The Windows Sender on some laptops has exhibited inconsistent performance. Increasing the Sender priority to
high usually improves interactivity in this case. This provides the Sender more frequent access to the CPU, and
improves the update frequency to the Receiver.
Process priority for the Sender is command line accessible for the Windows Sender. Four command-line options
are available:
–belownormal
-normal
-abovenormal
-high
Priorities low and realtime cannot be selected for the Windows Sender.
There are two ways to set the process priority of the Windows Sender:
Use regedit to modify the rgsender service start up parameters in the Windows Registry. (see the regedit
•
instructions in the
Use HP Performance Tuning Framework (PTF) to configure Windows Sender priority (available only on HP
•
Workstations)
CAUTION: Adjusting the process priority of the Sender to a level higher than –normal can cause other
normally-privileged processes to receive fewer CPU cycles than normal. Therefore, caution should be observed
in adjusting the priority of the Sender.
Setting the Sender process priority using PTF
The HP Performance Tuning Framework (PTF) can be used adjust the priority of the Sender without having to use
regedit. PTF is available for HP Workstations only from this location:
