Changing process priority

[TGJ]

Hi,

I have a java application that I run once a day, and it usually takes about 30 minutes to complete. Now I have noticed in the task manager that only about 2% of the CPU is being used as the application is running. I have tried giving the javaw process in the task manager a high priority by right clicking on the process and setting the priority to high but it doesn't seem to change anything and the CPU still runs at about 2%. Is there any other way I can dedicate more resources to this application so that it speeds up the time it takes to complete?

Thanks,
Terry

Not much here but something may help. Maybe the process is going as fast as it can on your machine setup?
